perioperative flow and improves efficiencies in the recovery room — discharges truly are smoother with fewer issues, happier patients and happier staff. This targeted form of analgesia is a growing star in the outpatient realm, and I see a contin- uous goal of improving on this tech- nique as well as using various med- ications for ongoing pain relief as great options. As a specialty, anes- thesia continues to discover new ways to provide more precise nerve blocks for an ever-growing list of surgical procedures, which will only increase demand for the use of regional anesthesia. There's no doubt that regional anesthesia performed by skilled providers results in better care and superior pain relief for patients. Think of it as an invest- ment in your patients' well-being. As a provider, you know you're doing good for your patients by taking a procedure that can be traumatic and painful, and help- ing them have a better, less-diffi- cult surgical experience. The satisfaction that comes fol- lowing successful procedures performed with the aid of region- al anesthesia is the epitome of quality surgical care. Outpatient care thrives when patients are calm and at ease in recovery, and when the nursing staff is free from distraction and focused on getting patients discharged in a timely manner.
