Abstract

Day care procedures, diagnostic and therapeutic are increasingly popular, due to advances in anesthesia, surgery and medical technology. Carefully selected patients with optimized co morbid conditions, if any can be taken up for ambulatory surgery which includes sedation, regional and general anesthesia.

Careful selection of drugs and airway devices with a proper plan leads to success. Standard monitoring is mandatory.Complications should be anticipated with the goal of early recognition and management. Appropriate discharge criteria should be applied before sending the patient home. Back up facilities of inpatient treatment should be available
