The role of sevoflurane in outpatient anesthesia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Tardiness from scheduled start times is a common source of frustration for both operating room (OR) personnel and patients. Factors that influence tardiness were quantified in a companion paper and have been used to develop interventions that have the potential for reducing tardiness. METHODS:Data from two ...
