The organization of three main types of out-patient anaesthesia facility are discussed. These are the hospital unit with independent facilities, the integrated hospital unit and the independent out-patient surgical centre.

The use of an out-patient facility for minor surgical procedures has been suggested as a less expensive alternative to in-patient management. Some of the advantages and disadvantages are outlined.
