Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC. Electronic address:
Purpose: The purpose of the project was to reduce the occurrence of nonclinical delays resulting in increased postanesthesia care unit length of stay for carpal tunnel release patients in an ambulatory orthopedic surgery center through the implementation of new workflow processes in both the preoperative and postoperative phases of care.
Design: Pre-post design, with data being analyzed both before and after implementation of evidence-based quality improvement measures to assess for effectiveness of project interventions.
Methods: At the ambulatory orthopedic surgery center, preintervention data were gathered for 6 months on carpal tunnel release patients (n = 185) to determine the root causes of discharge delays (January to June 2023).

General inhalational anesthesia can increase the risk of VTE via a variety of mechanisms. This study evaluates whether performing abdominoplasties under total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) instead of general inhalational anesthesia can reduce the risk of VTE.
