Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) has gained a significant foothold in the outpatient arena. Some providers use TIVA general anesthesia or, depending on the case, monitored anesthesia care (MAC) - local anesthesia with IV sedation - almost exclusively. Other providers combine IV induction with inhalational agents as their preferred general anesthesia regimen. To help you gain perspective of how and why your anesthesia providers strategize their cases, Outpatient Surgery conducted a virtual roundtable with six anesthesia providers via e-mail and telephone.
