title: [Criteria of awakening. Street aptitude].
abstract: Recovery period after anaesthesia, even if short in ambulatory surgery, must not be neglected. Most of serious accidents occur in recovery period but recovery assessments are not clearly defined. Different scores exist. Home readiness requires integrity of vital functions. Tests of upper functions also exist but are not commonly and easily used. They don't disclaim physician responsibility and increase his task appreciably.
