The purpose of this study is to describe, in real-life conditions, the factors influencing the choice of anesthesia (spinal anesthesia or short general anesthesia) in outpatient surgery.

This is a cross-sectional, observational, prospective, multicentre study, conduct in France among a representative sample of anesthesiologists. The factors influencing the choice of anesthesia (spinal anesthesia or short general anesthesia) will be assessed in patients undergoing an outpatient surgery. Data will be collected by the physician during the inclusion visit (peripostoperative consultation). Additional data regarding the patient's perception (pain and satisfaction) will be collected using a self-questionnaire 7 days after the surgery.

Primary Outcomes

Factors influencing the choice of anesthesia (spinal anesthesia or short general anesthesia

All proposed factors will be described using a 4-levels verbal scale (decisive / important / of little importance / unimportant). The factors will be described from the questionnaire completed by the investigator during the inclusion visit, before the surgery. Decisive factors for the choice of anesthesia will be described and compared between the two subgroups.spinal anesthesia and short general anesthesia.

Time frame: During the perioperative consultation (patients are included at the time of the perioperative consultation prior to their surgery): baseline visit

Secondary Outcomes

Patients' characteristics in each subgroups

Patients' characteristics (demographic data, ASA physical status, risk factors...) will be described from the questionnaire completed by the investigator during the inclusion visit, before the surgery.

Time frame: At the time of the perioperative consultation prior to their surgery (start of the inclusion visit or baseline visit)

Postoperative period from waking up to eligibility for discharge from hospital according to the type of anesthesia

Will be described from the questionnaire completed by the investigator during the inclusion visit, after the surgery.

Time frame: Up to 24h after the surgery

Patients' satisfaction according to the type of anesthesia based on 2 questions using a 4-levels verbal scale

Will be described from the self-questionnaire completed by the patient 7 days after the surgery.

Time frame: 7 days after surgery (i.e. 7 days after the inclusion)

Patients' pain according to the type of anesthesia using a VAS scale

Will be described from the self-questionnaire completed by the patient 7 days after the surgery.
