Total Intravenous Anesthesia and Short Acting Spinal Anesthetic in Primary Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: Does it Facilitate Early Hospital Discharge?

Dr. Incavo’s research study, “Total Intravenous Anesthesia and Short Acting Spinal Anesthetic in Primary Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: Does it Facilitate Early Hospital Discharge?” was recently published in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The study assessed the effect of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with short-acting spinal anesthesia and aggressive day-of-surgery postoperative day 0 physical therapy (POD#0 PT) on hospital length of stay (LOS) in patients who underwent primary total joint arthroplasty.
