Abstract
Office-based surgery is increasing in popularity because of technological advances, economic benefits, and convenience to the patient and surgeon. The peri-anesthesia nurse practicing in the office surgical suite assumes an increasingly complex role which may include (1) quality assurance oversight, (2) office staff education, (3) implementing and monitoring infection control measures, (4) providing medical equipment upkeep by means of scheduled maintenance, and (5) overseeing of medical supplies inventory. These responsibilities may be expected in addition to the traditional role of the nurse during the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative period. Recent recommendations will be reviewed regarding practice considerations applicable for the peri-anesthesia nurse designed to improve patient care and safety.
