Summary

This study evaluates the comparison of the incidence of postoperative home pain after ambulatory surgery with general anesthesia between a group with pre-surgical prescription delivered during anesthesia preoperative clinic and a group with postoperative prescription.

Detailed description

The ambulatory surgery increased over the last twenty years in France. The management of home pain after ambulatory surgery is a major challenge because it is the principal complication after day surgery with several consequences: nausea and vomiting, chronic pain, functional impairment with handicap, sleeping troubles, extra-hospital consultation. Management of home pain remains currently could be performed in ambulatory surgery. The French Society of Anesthesiology recommends to deliver pre-surgical prescription during the preoperative anesthesia clinic but this guideline is not bases on evidence in the literature. Also, we have previously shown in a retrospective non-randomized work a decrease of postoperative home pain in patient with general anesthesia. The main objective of this controlled and comparative study is to compare the incidence of postoperative home pain after ambulatory surgery with general anesthesia between a group with pre-surgical prescription delivered during anesthesia consultation and a group with postoperative prescription.
