title: [Professional responsibility in ambulatory techniques. The individual responsibility of the anesthetist, the surgeon and the facility director].
abstract: Ambulatory practice is regulated since October 1992. These regulations do not limit directly the technical choice by surgeons and anaesthetists. However opportunity and feasibility of day care must be estimated separately by the concerned practitioners. Regulations do not affect sensibly the relation with patients though the latter are much more responsible and informed than if hospitalized. Whatever special precautionary measures are taken, aiming at a better risks prevention, they do not reduce at all the usual obligations of anaesthetists and particularly of surgeons, given the ever increasing use of recent methods such as interventional endoscopy.
