Day Care Surgery in Tertiary Level Hospital
Journal Title: SSR Institute of International Journal of Life Sciences (SSR-IIJLS) - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Day care surgery was started as money saving modality. It has picked up momentum even in India. In last one decade due to innovations in surgical techniques and advances in anaesthesia, the positive feedback from the patients and their relation has enhanced the popularity of day care surgery. There is an immense opportunity for expansion of day care surgery in India to ensure faster, safer, cost-effective and patient turnover. Retrospective and Prospective day care surgery is being performed on general surgery patients at National Institute of Medical Science and Hospital (NIMS), Jaipur from 2014 to 2017. During this period, 4547 day care surgical procedures and 2757 OPD procedures were performed. Only 212 day care surgery patients (2.9%) were transferred to day care unit as in-patient admission. We found the day care surgery as safe and effective means of fast track surgery, which was economical also. In-patient admission following day surgery can be reduced by improved out-patient selection of cases by introducing a pre-admission assessment form filled in at the out-patient clinic, operating early on day care by using separate day care theatre. Anaesthetic complications were reduced by increased use of local anaesthetic techniques.
