    Abstract:
    Ambulatory pediatric anaesthesia is done within a well-organized medical and surgical structure. The anaesthesia consultation confirms the surgical indications, taking into account certain medical pathologies. 27% of elective surgery is done in day-hospital. The anaesthetic techniques described have been done in children from three weeks to sixteen years of age. Intubation was not an exclusion criterion. The major causes for transfer to the general hospital (2.9%) are given. Anaesthetic complications represent 0.1% of such transfers. Scrupulous respect of the selection criteria, competence of anaesthesiologists and of pediatric surgeons are prerequisites for good results.
