Case Surgery

A variety of surgical procedures in otolaryngology are treated as day case surgery. The patients are screened and selected before giving an appointment for certain surgical procedures. There are well-established criterions for suitability of day case surgery. In this study 500 patients were interviewed to see the suitability for day case surgery. A Combination of domestic problems, anesthesia problems, and inability to co-op with day case surgery criterion are discussed. Design: It is s prospective study. Place and duration of study: This study was conducted at ENT Department of Lahore General Hospital Lahore. From January 2000 to June 2002. Subjects & Methods: A Performs was filled after interviewing the patients to see the suitability for day case surgery. The problems of patients, who were unable to fulfill the criteria, are discussed in detail. Results: This study proves that more than 85% of patients are not suitable for day case surgery in our setup. Conclusion: Day case surgery is not feasible in patients coming from rural areas.

In England over six million day case surgical procedures are performed each year. Many of these patients have an allergy and are given a red armband to notify staff of this. This audit compared the use of red armbands to indicate allergy at two institutions undertaking day case surgery. The presence of wristbands, the allergies recorded on them and the correlation to allergies documented in the patient notes were analysed.

Acute Retention

Although day case surgery is recommended, its widespread feasibility in an urban environment is unclear. We studied 100 consecutive unselected patients admitted for surgical procedures considered to be suitable for day case surgery. Their age, fitness and social details were recorded and they were asked both before surgery and after discharge by a postal questionnaire, whether they would have preferred treatment as an outpatient. There were 47 men and 53 women with a mean age of 42.5 years. Ninety-six were considered to be medically fit for day case surgery but 10 patients lived alone, seven had no suitable companion, 22 had too many stairs to climb, 13 lived too far from the hospital and two could not provide a lift home. Thus 58 of the patients were unsuitable for day case surgery. Seventy-eight of the patients replied to the postal questionnaire. Before the operation 51 patients preferred the idea of day care but only 14 felt the same way afterwards. The single postoperative complication was one case of acute retention after a hernia repair. In our experience, over half the patients initially deemed suitable for day case surgery would be unsuitable.

The Mean

Thiopentone and propofol were used for the induction and maintenance of anaesthesia in unpremedicated patients undergoing minor gynaecological procedures. There were no significant differences in the induction and maintenance characteristics except for a high incidence of pain on injection and a greater fall in the mean systolic blood pressure associated with propofol in comparison with thiopentone. Propofol was associated with a quicker early recovery as well as a faster psychomotor recovery, as tested by a peg-board. However, complete psychomotor recovery was not achieved for up to three hours in some patients receiving propofol and so caution is advised regarding the early street fitness of patients receiving repeated doses of the drug for day case surgery.
