Retrospective chart review of patients and prospective survey of experienced anesthesia providers in total knee arthroplasty. Tertiary care academic medical center.

The demographic characteristics, comorbidities, perioperative care, and postoperative outcomes of patients, as well as survey responses from experienced anesthesia providers.
