About Day Care Anaesthesia
Day-care anaesthesia lets patients go home the same day after surgery. It uses short-acting drugs and regional blocks so that waking is quick and pain and nausea are well controlled.
Follow fasting instructions, arrange an adult to accompany you home and avoid driving or important decisions for 24 hours.
