AI Article Synopsis
- Ambulatory pediatric anaesthesia is performed in a structured medical and surgical setting, ensuring careful evaluation of surgical needs and patient health conditions.
- About 27% of elective surgeries are conducted in day-hospital settings, and the anaesthesia techniques can be applied to children aged three weeks to sixteen years, including those who may require intubation.
- Transfers to a general hospital occur in 2.9% of cases, with anaesthetic complications causing only 0.1% of these transfers; adherence to selection criteria and proficiency of medical staff is essential for successful outcomes.
Article Abstract
Ambulatory pediatric anaesthesia is done within a well-organized medical and surgical structure. The anaesthesia consultation confirms the surgical indications, taking into account certain medical pathologies. 27% of elective surgery is done in day-hospital. The anaesthetic techniques described have been done in children from three weeks to sixteen years of age. Intubation was not an exclusion criterion. The major causes for transfer to the general hospital (2.9%) are given. Anaesthetic complications represent 0.1% of such transfers. Scrupulous respect of the selection criteria, competence of anaesthesiologists and of pediatric surgeons are prerequisites for good results.

The potential benefits of performing procedures in the office setting using topical anesthesia include efficiency and cost reduction. The potential harms are failure to achieve the desired outcome and patient pain.

In the evolving landscape of ambulatory surgery, wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) surgery has emerged as a preferred approach due to its efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and patient satisfaction. This paradigm shift places the patient at the center of intraoperative communication, requiring a significant change in the dialogue within the operating room (OR). Traditional conversations, which often exclude the unconscious patient, must evolve to accommodate and prioritize the psychological comfort of the conscious patient.
