Shorter discharge time after regional or intravenous anaesthesia in combination with laryngeal mask airway compared with balanced anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation

Impact of spinal anesthesia for open pyloromyotomy on operating room time

“…The only exception was a patient with severe accidental hypothermia (34.7°C) who had postoperative apnea for almost 2 hours, until rewarming. Similar to the published data in adults [25], we found SA to be associated with a shorter wake-up time than general anesthesia. However, in adults, the wake-up time for SA was half that of general anesthesia, whereas in our study, it was almost 5-fold less in the study group.…”

Laryngeal mask airway versus endotracheal tube for outpatient surgery: analysis of anesthesia-controlled time

“…A recently published retrospective data analysis 15 demonstrated that in outpatient procedures, the use of a laryngeal mask led to a faster recovery and quicker OR release for the next procedure when compared with endotracheal intubation. In our prospective study, we found a slightly Data are presented as mean value (MV), standard deviation (SD), median (X 0.5 ), interquartile ranges (25th and 75th percentiles of the distribution; IQA), and 95% confidence interval (CI).…”
