Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The origins of ambulatory surgery can be traced back to the pioneering work of James Nicholl at the Glasgow Royal Hospital who reported 8988 paediatric day‐case procedures between 1899 and 1908. If there is a dedicated ambulatory ward and theatres, this environment does have some benefits; it is easily expandable, meaning that as new procedures are transferred to day surgery, the same infrastructure can be used with appropriate retraining of staff. Once the decision to operate has been established and the intended procedure is planned as a day case, a dedicated pre‐assessment team, generally made up of trained nurses, should comprehensively assess the patient. The pre‐operative assessment begins with gathering information about health, medications, and social circumstance. Once the patient has been adequately assessed and deemed suitable for ambulatory surgery, the clinical team will start to prepare.
