Daycare surgery involves operations where the patient is discharged on the same day. General anaesthesia is commonly used, while central neuraxial blocks are discouraged due to delayed discharge from motor block. Local and plexus blocks are good options. Anaesthetic goals include smooth onset, adequate intraoperative analgesia/amnesia, and rapid recovery. Common daycare surgeries include hernia repair, hemorrhoidectomy, laparoscopic procedures, otoplasty, and cystoscopy. Monitored anaesthesia care involves anaesthesiologist oversight during planned procedures. Non-operating room anaesthesia presents challenges due to unfamiliar environments but can be addressed through thorough patient evaluation, appropriate monitoring, and careful planning for procedures such as cardiac catheter
