1.	Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) 08/01/2013 - "For the success of ambulatory surgery, perioperative care with safe and effective anesthesia and postoperative analgesia, which can reduce the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), is essential. " 11/01/2012 - "An improved model for predicting postoperative nausea and vomiting in ambulatory surgery patients using physician-modifiable risk factors." 07/01/2008 - "The goal of the study was to identify risk factors of postoperative vomiting associated to day surgery. " 01/01/2005 - "We conducted a randomized, stratified, double-blind placebo-controlled trial to examine the incidence of PONV in women undergoing elective laparoscopic tubal ligation in the day surgery setting. " 12/01/1996 - "This study tested the effect of acupressure on the incidence of postoperative nausea in same-day surgery patients. "
2.	Pain (Aches) 02/01/2006 - "An essential feature of the quality of outpatient surgery is the efficacy of the perioperative pain therapy for which a multimodal approach has proven to be very effective: workflow tailored to children's needs, ambiance appropriate for children, and pharmacological analgesia. " 11/01/2004 - "Further improvement in analgesic instructions may help in better pain management of ambulatory surgery patients." 11/01/2002 - "Ilioinguinal nerve block is effective in controlling pain after bilateral varicocelectomy in ambulatory surgery." 01/01/1996 - "When used alone, they are effective in relieving minor or moderate pain such as that seen after maxillofacial, minor orthopedic, or some ambulatory surgical procedures, and postpartum pain (episiotomy). " 12/01/2010 - "Recent studies have shown that for outpatient surgery, for moderately painful procedures, a continuous infusion of local anesthesia via an in-dwelling catheter for 48 to 72 hours leads to reduced opiate analgesic requirements and improved pain and patient satisfaction scores. "
3.	Postoperative Pain 04/01/1991 - "Both have been employed in pediatric day surgery with good results in postoperative pain relief and with no complications. " 12/01/2002 - "Recent publications suggest additional ways to add regional anesthesia techniques to outpatient surgical practice, particularly with the promise of extensive postoperative pain relief for the ambulatory surgery patient." 02/01/2013 - "The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the effect of acupuncture on postoperative pain in day surgery patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. " 07/01/2009 - "Several predictive factors of postoperative pain after ambulatory surgery were identified in this study. " 07/01/2009 - "Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify predictive factors of postoperative pain after ambulatory surgery. "
4.	Infection 02/01/2011 - "Day surgery has become more commonplace owing to advances in pharmacology, anaesthetic and surgical techniques, as it has recognized benefits, such as lower costs and reduced incidence of infection. " 02/01/1999 - "We conclude that implantation of unicomponent penile implants under triple antibiotic coverage in an ambulatory surgery setting, with rigid infection control measures appears to be effective in preventing infection." 04/01/2014 - "According to the German Protection Against Infection Act (IfSG; section 23 paragraph 4, July 2011), hospitals and clinics for ambulatory surgery are obliged to establish a continuous monitoring of antibiotic consumption in their institute. " 01/01/2007 - "In Germany, the introduction of the Protection against Infection Act (IfSG) on 1 January 2001 represented a milestone for regulation of the framework conditions in outpatient surgery. " 01/01/2013 - "This study demonstrated that the rate of infection leading to reoperation was significantly lower in a single specialty ambulatory surgery setting as opposed to one accommodating multiple specialties."
5.	Breast Neoplasms (Breast Cancer) 01/01/2006 - "This approach demonstrated to be safe and effective, so we may conclude that day-surgery treatment of breast cancer in these patients is possible in the majority of cases, is associated with low morbidity and is profitable for clinical, social and economic issues." 06/01/2013 - "This study has helped in the planning of ambulatory surgery services and inpatient bed requirements for patients undergoing breast cancer surgery in Glasgow." 01/01/2008 - "To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of outpatient surgery for early breast cancer in an Italian ambulatory setting and to assess its benefits. " 01/01/2007 - "To determine the efficacy of a nursing intervention based on self-regulation theory known as the Attentional Focus and Symptom Management Intervention (AFSMI) in enhancing physical and emotional well-being in women who underwent day surgery for breast cancer. " 08/01/2009 - "Day surgery for breast cancer is safe, with equivalent complication rates, but there is lack of evidence from randomised controlled trials. "
