Foreword Ambulatory Anesthesia Lee A. Fleisher, MD Consulting Editor Over the past 40 years, there has been a marked increase in the percentage of patients having surgery in an ambulatory setting. This has been the result of multiple factors, including the development of new anesthetic and analgesic agents, new surgical tech- niques and technology, and an increased desire to reduce costs and improve patient convenience. This issue contains a series of articles highlighting some of the important questions related to delivery of ambulatory care and means of measuring and improving outcomes. It also highlights some of the issues related to a growing area of ambulatory practice—the office-based setting. As Guest Editor for this issue, I am fortunate to have Peter Stanley Abraham Glass, MB, ChB, Professor and Chairman, Department of Anesthesiology at Stony Brook University Medical Center. He has authored 96 original articles and 40 book chapters. He has conducted many funded investigations related to delivery of anesthesia and analgesia in the outpatient setting. He has been President of the Society for Intravenous Anesthesia and is an active member and currently Secretary of the Society for Ambula- tory Anesthesia. Given his research, education, and leadership roles, he has been able to assemble an outstanding group of contributors to this issue of Anesthesiology Clinics. Lee A.
