title: [Ambulatory and day hospital: pediatrics without any time spent in hospital].
abstract: The Authors show their six years' experience (1985-1990) in ambulatory activity and day hospital replacing the children's ward in a Lombard Hospital in order to prove the real efficaciousness of the formula "pediatrics without any time spent in hospital". They purpose a nosological framing of the services done in ambulatory and in hospital; they point out the indications for a really favourable use of the day hospital, they report the pathology treated in ambulatory (13,615 examinations) and in day hospital (1,632 admissions to hospital). After six years' experience, the Authors say that "Pediatrics without any time spent in hospital" can really meet most of the sanitary demands of the pediatric population and it is an instrument really improving and not reducing the treatment of the child.
