This study reports retrospectively the post-anaesthetic complications in surgical out-patients. We have studied the incidence and severity of these complications during the first five post-operative days in 500 female patients who underwent tubal ligation by laparoscopy. The report shows that post-anaesthetic complications in surgical out-patients are frequent but of mild severity. Although they produced some discomfort for the patients most of them were of the opinion that the advantages of having the operation as out-patients made up for the discomfort.

PIP: The safety of outpatient surgery depends mainly on patient selection, the type of operation, and the anesthetic technique. Subjects of this study were 500 women who as outpatients underwent tubal electrocoagulation through a laparoscope. After an interval of 1 week to 4 months postoperatively, each was sent a questionnaire regarding postanesthetic complications. The questionnaire was returned by 418 patients (83.6%). Several anesthetic agents had been used. Premedication was given only to very nervous patients (18%). Atropine .4 mg was given to all just before the operation. The trachae of all patients were untubated after a dose of succinylcholine and in 60% of cases 3-6 mg of D-tubocurare. There were no immediate anesthetic complications. Most patients were discharged within 3 hours. Postanesthetic complications were common. Muscle pains occurred in 45%, many lasting 2-5 days. Sore throat followed in 28.2% but was usually mild. Headache, nausea, vomiting, cough, and sputum were noted in 8-17%. A mild dizziness was sometimes a complaint. Inability to concentrate was experienced by 30% of patients for over 2 days. In 32.9 %, return to usual work took up to 48 hours; in 57.9%, it was 2-5 days w hile the others required over 5 days. 81% of the patients reported that they would accept the procedure again, while 16.7% would refuse. Return to preoperative mental status usually took several days and in a few over 5 days. Too early use of alcoholic beverages or driving an automob ile were warned against. Most patients considered that the advantage of having the operation as outpatients made up for the discomforts.
