James Nicoll, Glasgow,Scotland –
9000 outpatient procedures on
children
1903
first hospital based ambulatory
unit developed
1960
IAAS formed by 12 national
associations
• Currently > 25 country members
1995
SETUPS
Hospital integrated
Hospital separated
( but accessible to
the hospital)
Satelite ambulatory
unit (under same
administration)
Free standing unit (
totally
independent)
Office based

2011 – 16 cases to 2015 – 489
cases
Uterus size – bulky to 28 weeks
Dominant fibroid – 2 to 26.4 cm
Number – 2 to 17
Day care surgery – 456, admissions
33 [7.2%] with only 5[1.1%]
conversions.
▪ Day care surgery – 365,admissions – 22
[6%]
▪ Uterus size – 40g to 3.27kg
▪ Readmissions, transfers, conversions – None
▪ Blood transfusion – none
▪ Bladder injury – one [0.27%]
Some still believe in open TAH/myomectomy
Great variation hospital stay - 2-5 night stay
Nbm 2-3 days, drains etc
Surgeons want to play safe
Patients not aware of available options
Insurance companies ignorant and uncooperative.
▪ Initial reluctance from hospitals
▪ (stand alone day surgery unit)
▪ Dedicated team
▪ Short stay to actual day care surgery
▪ Stay < 6-8 hr post-op
▪ Which procedures?
▪ Widening due to improvements in :
▪ Surgical techniques
▪ Anaesthetic techniques
▪ Pain control
▪ Widening
▪ Suction evac.
▪ Cerclage
▪ Bartholins
▪ Cystectomy
▪ Now TLH, Myomectomy,
endometriosis,
tuboplasty, diagnostic,
hysteroscopies,
adhesiolysis , etc
“ Almost ALL“
CRITERIA OF DAY
CARE SURGERY?
▪ Which patients?
▪ Surgical criteria:
▪ No increased risk of
haemorrhage
▪ Able to allow oral intake in few
hr
▪ One that allows early
mobilization
▪ Abd/ thoracic cavity opened
only by MIS
▪ No requirement of prolonged
specialist post-op care
▪ Post-op pain amenable to oral
medication
▪ Anaesthesia side effects that
delay discharge must be
minimal
▪ Expected duration of surgery
▪ Medical:
▪ Fitness – physiological age,ASA,BMI etc
▪ Good control chronic disease – DM, HTN
▪ Social:
▪ Patient counselled well
▪ Consent for DCS
▪ Responsible adult to escort home
▪ Support for first 24hr at home
▪ Not far away from hospital
IAAS TERMINOLOGY – INTERNATIONAL ASSOC. FOR AMBULATORY
SURGERY
Day
surgery/ambulator
y surgery/day only
/same day surgery:
Admit on day of surgery
carefully selected and
prepared patients for
planned, non-emergency
surgery and discharge
same day within hours of
the surgery.
Extended
recovery:
23 hr, overnight stay,
single night
Short stay:
24-72 hr in hospital prior
to discharge
Inpatient:
Patient admitted in a
hospital for a stay 24 hr
or more
▪ A procedure carried out in a
medical practitioners
professional premises in an
appropriately designed and
equipped service room.
▪ Hours too late
▪ Social issues
▪ Issue of transport
▪ Family not willing
▪ Excess PONV or pain
▪ Poor recovery in ward
▪ Complicated surgery
Studies worldwide – DCS deliver the same high
quality care as that of hospital admitted patients or
may actually be safer
60% or more surgery in US performed as daycare
Expected to go to 75% over next decade

PRE-OP SURGERY IMMEDIATE
POST-OP
AFTER
DISCHARGE
▪ Explain what DCS means – involve patients in decision making
▪ Date, time and place to arrive
▪ Informed consent
▪ Prior anaesthetic check – ASA I/II, allay anxiety
▪ No smoking at least 12hr
▪ NBM from midnight
▪ Changes to current medication scheduling or dosing
▪ No J-ASA or blood thinner for a week prior
Bring all meds regularly taken to hospital
Stop COCPs at least 48hr prior
Shower evening before or on day of surgery
Report wounds, cuts or rashes on site of surgery
Remove nail polish
Leave jewellery at home
Inform about URTI and allergies
No alcohol day before
No shaving of abdomen
Pre-emptive
management of pain
and nausea
Balanced anaesthesia
Induction with propofol,
muscle relax with
atracurium, orogastric
tube, IPPV, maintenance
with O2, N2O and
isoflurane
Supplemented with
TIVA ( remifentanyl) in
myomectomy to
maintain a hypotensive
anaesthesia.
▪ Multimodal analgesia:
▪ Identify high risk patients early -
anxious
▪ iv fentanyl, iv diclofenac 75 as
infusion, iv PCM as infusion,
▪ LA infiltration, LA instillation into
peritoneal cavity
▪ TAP block
▪ Opioid sparing
▪ Preventive analgesia
▪ MECHANISMS OF
ACTION OF PAIN
MEDICATION
▪ Multimodal antiemesis :
▪ iv dexa 8mg at induction, iv
ondansetron 4-8 mg
▪ Avoid opioids if possible
▪ Can use droperidol or
metoclopramide
IMMEDIATE
POST-OP
Early ambulation
Oral fluids in 2-3 hr
Close monitoring in
recovery ward
Maintain pain score
chart
Nurse mediated
discharge in 5-6hr
DISCHARGE
PLANNING “protocol driven
nurse- led discharge”
Stable vitals
No new signs and symptoms post-op
Manageable PONV
Mild tolerable pain
Passed urine
Smooth surgery without complications
Walk comfortable without assistance
Responsible adult escort and support for 24hr
Diet: light meal at night, normal breakfast
next day

Medication – antibiotic,analgesia,anti-
emetic, anti acidity,anti-constipation

ADVANTAGES
▪Patient and family
▪ More personalized
▪ Recover in familiar home
environment
▪ Avoid complications of long
hospital stay – nosocomial
infections, DVT etc
▪ Resume personal life earlier
▪ Higher satisfaction
ADVANTAGES
▪ Hospital
▪ Cost 25%-75% lesser
▪ Less nursing and medical
supervision
▪ Ease scheduling patients
and surgeons
▪ More numbers can be
treated
▪ Decompression of busy
hospital beds
▪ Healthcare system
▪ Cost containment
▪ Can be made more accessible
▪ Will change design of health care
facilities and composition of health care
workforce
▪ Hospitals of ‘future’ – more OT and fewer
beds
▪ Lesser strain on ward staffing
▪ More home based nursing care.
