Definition

Day care ent surgical patient is one who has a planned admission, operation and discharge on the same day. Anaesthesia is modified to allow rapid recovery and to minimise post-operative pain, nausea, and vomiting. Pre-admission planning and protocol driven, nurse-led discharge allow a day unit to run efficiently.
