Strategies for reducing costs in anesthesia: Examples of successful initiatives in Brazilian health institutions

Resumo

This paper reviews strategies adopted by health institutions in Brazil to reduce costs in anesthesia services. The initiatives include the standardization of protocols, the use of generic drugs and the optimization of material resources. Results demonstrate that such measures are effective in reducing operating costs, without compromising the quality and safety of anesthetic services. Managers are encouraged to consider these practices to sustain financial efficiency and improve hospital care.
