Quantitative Analysis of Anesthesia Utilization in Ambulatory Hand Surgery

CONCLUSION: LA was the most utilized modality over the study period, though a significant proportion of usage has shifted back towards RA and GA over time. Commercial/private insurance was the most frequent reimbursement source for all procedures, though Medicaid covered disproportionately more procedures utilizing GA. RA use was noted to be disproportionately higher in mid-sized population centers (2-4 million in population). Level of Evidence: IV.PMID:38213847 | PMC:PMC10777700
