  • Daycare surgery is a process of care by which suitable patients are managed with admission, treatment and discharge on the same calendar day.
  • Patients undergoing day care surgery move through a continuum of medical care to which physicians and surgeons contribute to ensure the best outcome possible.
  • The anesthetic technique that use short-acting drugs and minimize post-operative mortality and morbidity should become the focus in day surgery anesthesia.
  • Policies on management of post-operative pain, nausea, vomiting, voiding and discharge from hospital will maintain good outcome measures.
