Post-operative symptoms at home in children following day case surgery.
This prospective questionnaire-based study examined the post-operative symptoms encountered by children who had day case surgery at a dedicated day case surgery unit. The study evaluated the postoperative symptoms at home. The parents also evaluated the instructions given in the hospital for care at home. ⋯ Post operative symptoms following elective day case surgery are amenable to treatment and prevention with a wider use of available drugs for peri-operative analgesia.
