Day case surgery anaesthesia

Anaesthesia can be planned so that the patient can be released home on the day of the surgery, if the procedure and the patient’s general health allow it.

Short-term medications and applicable operation techniques are used in the day case surgery anaesthesia. The anaesthetic doctor chooses the appropriate anaesthetic technique individually for each patient and supervises the patient’s vital functions and well-being during the surgery with the help of a specialized nurse.
