Non-operating Room Pediatric Anesthesia

Non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) is becoming increasingly popular

for pediatric patients and comes with its own unique challenges that warrant

consideration in order to provide safe anesthetic care. This chapter is organized by

location and discusses considerations for locations such as the radiology suite,

interventional radiology, gastroenterology, and oncology sites. Agent selection and

anesthetic type can vary even within each locale, and different techniques are presented

to help guide the practitioner on what may be expected with each site and procedure.

Checklists are provided as cognitive aids for the safe preparation. The postanesthesia

recovery period for these patients is also summarized, and discharge criteria are

provided.
