Why the study?
Patients undergoing non-operating room procedures are often too sick for surgery and require specific anesthesia care in remote areas with logistical and scheduling challenges.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Standard preanesthesia assessments and principles apply to non-operating room anesthesia locations, which are safe despite the complexity of patients.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Patients presenting for non-operating room procedures are often 'too sick' for surgery and require specific anesthesia care in remote areas with logistical and scheduling challenges. RECENT FINDINGS: Increased complexity and scope of minimally invasive procedures have expanded this practice. In addition, the concept of therapeutic options other than conventional surgery is gaining traction. SUMMARY: Our review of recent literature confirms the complexity and supports the safety of providing care in non-operating room anesthesia locations. Standard preanesthesia assessments and principles apply to these areas.
