A total of 110 patients under 21 years old were enrolled, with skin tone quantified using spectrophotometry and categorized by individual typology angle (ITA). Forehead […]
Read MoreAuthor: Sophie Eydis Becker’s ASC Review Anesthesia workforce shortages are hitting ambulatory surgery centers hard, driving up labor costs and disrupting operations. With fewer anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists available, ASCs are paying more for staff, leaning on temporary providers, and in some cases delaying or canceling procedures — pressures that threaten margins and […]
