Review[Ambulant Anesthesia: Organization in Medical Practices and Hospitals].
Legislation, regulations and rules must be complied with when conducting ambulant surgeries and administering ambulant anesthesia. Additionally, there are social welfare legislation and regulations, as well as technical guidelines and standards that must be complied with, for instance, regarding the management of medical products or the disposal of waste and sewage in medical practices. At a country level, many of these regulatory areas are managed differently by each German state, and in some instances management differs significantly from one state to another. ⋯ Ambulant surgery can be performed in private practices, as well as hospitals, and the two usually differ significantly from one another. On the one hand there are the well-organized, high performing, private practices, which have a focus on ambulant surgeries, where the participating physicians contribute to the success of the practice. On the other hand, there are the often large and cumbersomely organized hospitals, where ambulant surgeries are viewed as more of a burden than as an additional source of income.

Review[Ambulant Anesthesia: Regional Anesthesia for Ambulatory Patients].
Although regional anesthesia for ambulatory patients is feasible, effective and recommended, general anesthesia, analgosedation and monitored anesthesia care traditionally play a major role in the ambulatory setting. This discrepancy is at least partially caused by a more standardized and predictable process when using general anesthesia. High patient comfort, a low rate of complications and a rapid postoperative recovery are expected by all patients, irrespective of the type of anesthesia chosen and lie in the common interest of the anesthesiologist and the surgeon. A careful selection of suitable regional anesthesia procedures for equally suitable patients achieves these goals without loss of efficiency.

Review[Update in Obstetric Anesthesia: Tried and Trusted Methods, Controversies and New Perspectives - Part 1].
Since 1975, a plethora of lectures within the context of annual meetings relevant for the clinical care has been summarized in "what's new in obstetric anesthesia" by the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology which can be recommended to everyone interested in anaesthesiology in the delivery room. After the death of Gerard W. Ostheimer, Professor of Anaesthesiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, it became renamed the Gerard W. ⋯ This manuscript summarizes important findings from the last symposium held in 2016. Part I focuses on relevant causes for maternal morbidity and mortality as well as preventive measures, pregnancy in obese patients and sepsis in obstetric anaesthesia. Part II addresses established standards and new perspectives in the direct obstetric setting regarding epidural analgesia, post-dural puncture headache, anaesthesia and analgesia during and after caesarean section, haemodynamic monitoring during cesarean section and postpartum haemorrhage.

Review[Perioperative Anaphylaxia on Drugs].
The diagnostic evaluation of perioperative anaphylaxia is of great importance for the medical care of the affected persons in the context of renewed interventions in general anesthesia. The most frequent triggers include muscle relaxants, antibiotics, latex and analgesics of the type of the cyclooxygenase inhibitors, but other perioperatively administered drugs such as opioids, anesthetics, benzodiazepines, dyes, disinfectants and even corticosteroids or drug additives may also be the cause in rare cases. ⋯ At the end of the examinations, the patient receives a structured allergy passport, which includes information on the drug reaction, the triggers and alternative medicines, as well as possible preventive measures for future surgical procedures. It should be noted, however, that the latter are not a guarantee that, upon renewed exposure to the causative medicinal product, there will be no, possibly even heavier, anaphylactic reaction.

Review[Ambulant Anesthesia: Limits and Possibilities].
The number of operations carried out on an outpatient basis is increasing in Germany. This trend has been observed for years. The prerequisite is an infrastructure that is in line with guidelines. ⋯ A sensible companion and instruction to the patient that he is not allowed to actively participate in road traffic are essential for discharge after surgery. The decision on outpatient or inpatient care must always be taken individually. It is not possible to make a general statement as to the manner in which an intervention should be carried.
