Abstract
Paediatric day case surgery is suitable for many children and procedures, offering benefits to patients, families and organizations. For day surgery units to be successful, thorough processes must be followed to ensure that patients are correctly selected and prepared, lists are organized appropriately, and resources are in place to manage day case smoothly. Techniques for anaesthesia and analgesia should be tailored to facilitate day case discharge with clear information provided to patients and families.
