This review highlights the growing field of non-operating room anesthesia and emphasizes the need for high-quality standards and careful patient selection.
Non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) represents a growing field of medicine with an increasing trend in the number of cases performed over the previous decade. As a result, anesthesia providers will need to enhance their familiarity with the resources, personnel, and environment outside of the operating room. Anesthesia delivery in NORA settings should be held with the same high-quality standards as that within the operating room. This review looks at special considerations in patient selection and the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. In addition, there is a discussion on the unique aspects of specific NORA areas and the considerations that come with them.

Wong et al. (2020) conducted a review in Patients requiring non-operating room anesthesia. Non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) was evaluated. Non-operating room anesthesia requires special considerations in patient selection, perioperative management, and environmental adaptation to maintain safety standards equivalent to those in the operating room.
