Abstract

We assessed the views of French general practitioners concerning pain relief at home after ambulatory surgery in a cross-sectional prospective survey. The results revealed that there is need for improvement, mainly in prescribing more suitable analgesic protocols and optimizing postdischarge relationships between physicians.
