Abstract
Regional anesthesia-based practice in ambulatory surgery is an effective means of providing excellent postoperative analgesia and is associated with a low rate of PONV, regional anesthesia-associated side effects, and unexpected admissions [1]. With the advent of short-acting local anesthetics licensed for neuraxial anesthesia, spinal and epidural anesthesia have gained some traction in outpatient surgery. Fascial blocks such as the erector spinae, serratus anterior, or rectus sheath blocks are valuable tools in the armamentarium of the ambulatory anesthesiologist. Complications of regional anesthesia techniques remain sparse. Practicing blocks to assure fast room turnovers and excellent surgical anesthesia is of utmost importance for a successful ambulatory regional anesthesia practice.
