"If you want to leave the catheter in for a week — like we do for our shoulders that are getting aggressive physical therapy — instead of paying twice as much for a larger elastomeric pump, you can pay the same amount for an electronic pump and simply fill a bigger bag," says Dr. Winchester. "You may even want a pump to last 10 to 14 days for a patient with complex regional pain syn- drome. For that, you'd have to use 2 elastomeric pumps, even if you used the larger size. But with an electronic pump, you'd be able to do it with very little additional cost — just the cost of the additional anesthetic." OSM F E B R U A R U Y 2 0 1 8 • O U T PA T I E N TS U R G E R Y.
