[Two-years' experience of ambulatory anesthesia in otorhinolaryngology in children].

Three hundred children were anaesthetized for E.N.T. operations. The anaesthetic consultation took place one week prior to operation. The anaesthetic comprises premedication, inhalation of halothane for infants, or propofol drip for the others with tracheal tubing for 10% of them. Recovery in every case is supervised in the recovery room. There are few setbacks with this method. Eleven children were not accepted for operation for sociological or medical reasons (Willebrand diseases) and only 3 had to remain in hospital until the following day due to slow recovery from anaesthetic.
