Patient Selection For Ambulatory Surgery: Can Any Patient Be an Outpatient?
THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
SOUTHWESTERN MEDICAL CENTER
AT DALLAS
Conflict Of Interests
• None
O u t l i n e
• Describe the concerns of ambulatory surgery in challenging patients
• Understand the approach to determining patient selection for ambulatory surgery
• Justify appropriate selection of challenging adult patients scheduled for ambulatory surgery – Sick, elderly, obese, OSA, diabetes mellitus, cardiac
implantable electronic devices
Reengineering in Surgical Paradigm
• In the US, ~ 70% surgical procedures performed on an outpatient basis
• Improvements in surgical and anesthetic techniques make more procedures possible in outpatient setting
• Complex surgical procedures are increasingly performed on complex patients

In an ambulatory setting, patient selection influences
perioperative outcome.
Patient Selection Influences Perioperative Outcome
• Delayed discharge home
• Reduced efficiency of the ASC
• Unplanned hospital admission
• Increased post-discharge complications
• Unplanned readmission
• Patient/family dissatisfaction
Joshi, Girish, MB, BS, MD, FFARCSI Patient Selection for Ambulatory Surgery
Suitability For Ambulatory Surgery: Complex and Dynamic Process • Surgical procedure
– Cataract, peripheral, cavity
• Patient’s preoperative health – ASA Physical status
• Proposed anesthetic technique – Local/regional anesthesia vs. GA
• Suitability of surgical facility – HOPD, ASC, Office-based
• Social considerations – Appropriate caregiver availability
Procedure Considerations
• Low risk of severe intra- or postop blood loss
• Tranexamic acid allowed TKA on outpatient basis
• Postoperative pain easily controlled
• No need for intensive or prolonged postop care
• Duration of procedure ??
• Surgeon’s expertize – Birkmeyer et al: Surgical Skill and Complication Rates after
Bariatric Surgery. N Engl J Med 2013;369:1434-42
Outpatient Total Knee Arthroplasty
• Outpatients were younger, had lower comorbidity burden
• TKA performed on an outpatient basis had lower risk of re-hospitalization
• Reasons for re-hospitalization – Inadequate pain control
– Comorbidities, particularly HF
Lovald S, et al: J Surg Ortho Adv 2014; 23:2–8
Laparoscopic Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass
• Bariatric Outcomes Longitudinal Database (n=51,788) lap gastric bypass procedures
• Median age=45 years; BMI=46.3 kg/m2 • Patients discharged on an ambulatory basis had
a 13-fold increased risk of 30-day mortality when compared with the LOS of 2 days
• Ambulatory discharge was associated with a trend toward increased serious complication
Morton JM, et al: Ann Surg 2014; 259: 286- 92
Patient Selection for Ambulatory Surgery: Predictors of Complications
• ACS-NSQIP database 2005-2010 (n=244,397)
• Predictors of 72-h perioperative morbidity:
– High BMI – COPD
– Previous PCI/cardiac surgery
– Hypertension – H/o TIA/CVA
– Prolonged operative time Mathis M, et al: Anesthesiology 2013; 119: 1310-21
Unplanned Admission After Ambulatory Surgery
• Length of surgery more than one hour
• High (≥3) ASA physical status classification
• Advanced age (>80 years)
• High BMI
Whippey A, et al Can J Anaesth 2013; 60: 675-83
Joshi, Girish, MB, BS, MD, FFARCSI Patient Selection for Ambulatory Surgery
ASA Physical Status Scale
Reliability of the ASA Physical Status Scale
• Inter-rater reliability assessed in a cohort of 10,864 patients
– ASA 1=5.5%, ASA 2=42%, ASA 3=46.7%, ASA 4=5.8%
• ASA-PS scale had moderate ability to predict in-hospital mortality and cardiac complications
• Despite the inherent subjectivity, ASA-PS scale can be used as a measure of preoperative health
Shankar A, et al: Br J Anaesth 2014; 113: 424-32
Patient Considerations
• Patients with ASA physical status 4 NOT suitable for ambulatory surgery
– A patient with severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life
• Patients with ASA physical status 3 consider other factors
– A patient with severe systemic disease
Age
Age alone should not be used to determine suitability for
ambulatory surgery.
Outpatient Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in the Elderly
• Analysis of the NSQIP database (2007-2010) • Elderly (>65 yr) undergoing elective lap chole
on an outpatient basis (n=7499) compared with inpatients (n=7799)
• Predictors of inpatient admission and mortality – ASA 4, CHF, bleeding disorder, CRF on dialysis
• Factors that did not influence admission – Diabetes mellitus, BMI, smoking status
Rao A, et al: Am Coll Surg 2013; 217: 1038-43
Joshi, Girish, MB, BS, MD, FFARCSI Patient Selection for Ambulatory Surgery
Age and Ambulatory Surgery
• Age > 80 years is an indicator of increased perioperative risk – Whippey A, et al: Can J Anesth 2013; 60: 675-83
– Fleischer LA, et al: Arch Surg 2004; 139: 67-72
• Consider post-discharge issues
– Increased need for supervision
– Social issues such as elderly or debilitated partner
Obese Patients
For Ambulatory Surgery
Ambulatory Surgery in Obese Systematic Review: Results
• 106,119 patients (prospective cohort trials = 62,476 and retrospective trials = 43,643)
• Bariatric surgery population = 39,548, and systematic review patients n=2549
• Obese had increased respiratory events
– O2 desaturation, need for O2 supplementation
– Stridor/laryngospasm, airway obstruction
Joshi GP et al: Anesth Analg 2013; 117: 1082-91
Systematic Review: Results
• No differences in unanticipated admission rate – Obese and non-obese cohorts
– Studies of bariatric and non-bariatric surgery
• BMI in non-bariatric surgery studies around 30
• BMI in bariatric surgery studies was around 40 – Rigorous preoperative preparation
• Super obese (BMI>50) higher risk of complications
Joshi GP et al: Anesth Analg 2013; 117: 1082-91

Joshi GP, et al: Anesth Analg 2013; 117: 1082-91 * Joshi GP, et al: Anesth Analg 2012; 115: 1060-8
BMI 40-50 kg/m2 BMI>50 kg/m2
Follow SAMBA-OSA Recommendations *
Joshi, Girish, MB, BS, MD, FFARCSI Patient Selection for Ambulatory Surgery
OSA Patients
For Ambulatory Surgery
• Scientific literature on safety and perioperative management of OSA patients is sparse and of limited quality
Anesthesiology 2014; 120:268-86
ASA-Scoring System For OSA Patients
A. Severity of OSA (0-3 pts) B. Invasiveness of surgery/anesthesia (0-3 pts) C. Requirements for postoperative opioids (0-3 pts) • Overall score (0-6): A + greater of B or C
– Score ≥4 increased risk from OSA – Score 5 or 6 significantly increased risk from OSA
Not suitable for ambulatory surgery
• Intra-abdominal and upper airway surgery are not suitable for ambulatory surgery
Anesthesiology 2014; 120:268-86
Joshi GP et al: Anesth Analg 2012; 115: 1060–8
SAMBA-OSA Systematic Review
• No difference in complications between OSA and non-OSA patients undergoing ambulatory surgery
• Most studies used standardized, protocolized approach to patient care – Emphasis on preoperative diagnosis – Emphasis on use of non-opioid analgesics to
minimize opioid use – Emphasis on postoperative care particularly
use of CPAP after discharge Joshi GP et al: Anesth Analg 2012; 115: 1060–8

Surgery For OSA in An Ambulatory Setting
• Systematic review of 18 studies (2160 patients) • No deaths or major catastrophic events • Overall adverse event rate = 5.3% • Respiratory complications = 1.5%
– Majority were O2 desaturations, and were not clinically significant
• Readmission rate 0.4% • OSA surgery performed on an outpatient basis
is generally safe • Exceptions: tongue base surgery, high AHI,
high postop opioid requirements Rotenberg B: Curr Anesthesiol Rep 2014; 4: 10-8
Laryngopharyngeal Surgery in OSA
• Analysis of the National Survey of Ambulatory Surgery
• No increase in airway surgery over a decade
• Unplanned readmission rate <4%
• No mortality or serious complications
• Minor complications: 9% Mahboubu H et al: JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2013; 139: 28-31
Diabetic Patients
For Ambulatory Surgery
Glycemic Control Guidelines
Is there a preoperative blood glucose level above which one should postpone elective surgery?
• No evidence that any particular blood glucose level is harmful for outpatients
• First step in decision making: assess for significant complications of hyperglycemia such as severe dehydration, ketoacidosis, and hyperosmolar non-ketotic states
• Postpone surgery of these conditions are present
Preoperative Blood Glucose Level
• Good long-term control: proceed with surgery
• Poor long-term control: consider comorbidities
and risks of surgical complications (e.g.,
delayed wound healing and wound infection)
• Decision to proceed made in conjunction with
the surgeon
Joshi, Girish, MB, BS, MD, FFARCSI Patient Selection for Ambulatory Surgery
Proceed After BGL Correction or Correct BGL in the Operating Room
• Rapid correction of BGL not necessary
• Timing of BGL correction based upon available time in the preop period duration of surgery

Management of Pacemaker Patients
• Rendering PM asynchronous, even in PM-dependent patients, not always required
• Render asynchronous, by programming or by a magnet, only if significant inhibition is observed
• Caution: pacemakers with special algorithms (e.g., rate responsive devices, MV sensors, search hysteresis/ capture, battery extenders)

S u m m a r y
• Complex ambulatory surgical procedures will increasingly be performed on complex patients
• Patient selection is complex and dynamic process • First step in determining appropriate patient
selection includes preoperative assessment and identification of any comorbid conditions, which should be optimized to minimize risks
• Developing and implementing clinical pathways should improve the process of patient selection
