• Physicians are doing many things, which were surgeons areas previously.
• E. g. Interventional radiologists, gastroenterologists, or interventional cardiologists
• And this means, we are getting additional..
RESPONSIBILITIES
![Page 3: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Away from familiar territories…• The indifferent reflexes
shown by the non operating room staff in emergency situation
• Insecurity due to a very realistic anticipation of lack of equipment and staff support
• Despite these factors, we should be held responsible if something happens…!
![Page 4: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is there in a name….?
• Nonoperating room anesthesia (NORA)
• Anesthesia at remote location• Outpatient anesthesia • Office-based anesthesia (OBA)
![Page 5: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A very busy innings expected….
• Number of NORA activities has increased rapidly ( CT, MRI, neuroradiologic procedure or electroconvulsive therapy)
• And the procedures have become more complex
![Page 6: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Special problems of NORA
• Limited working place, limited access to the patient,
• Electrical interference with monitors and phones, lighting and temperature inadequacy,
• Use outdated , old equipment• Staff less familiar with the management of
patients• Lack of skilled personnel, drugs and supplies• there is often no regular check up of the
anaesthesia inventory

Hello..hello ...Who are you..?
• A trained anaesthesiologist should provide anaesthesia in remote locations within the hospital.
• However non anaesthesiologists are allowed to provide ‘conscious sedation'.
• It is mandatory that all providers should be Adult Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certified.
![Page 8: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Tour destinations!
• Radiology suites e.g. cardiac angiography, interventional radiology, CTscan, MRI
• Endoscopy suites• The dental clinic• The burns unit• Psychiatric unit for electroconvulsive
therapy• Renal unit for lithotripsy • The gynaecology unit for in vitro
fertilisation.
![Page 9: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
OUR AIMS
• Guard the patient's safety and welfare
• Minimise physical discomfort and pain
• Control anxiety, minimise psychological trauma and maximize the potential for amnesia
• Control movement to allow safe completion of the procedure
• Return the patient to a state in which safe discharge from medical supervision is possible.

Don't expect Volks Wagens! But ensure the Ambassador is not leaking petrol !
• The design of the anaesthesia machine may not be familiar
• do routine safety checks, such as ensuring that the oxygen failure alarm is working
• Make sure that we can see the anaesthetic machine during the case – e.g. radiology procedures are invariably undertaken in darkened rooms
![Page 12: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Equipment check list for anaesthesia or sedation in a remote location away from the operating theatreRemember the acronym S O A P M ES (suction) – Appropriate size suction catheters & functioning suction apparatus.O (oxygen) – Reliable oxygen sources with a functioning flow meter. At least one spare E-type oxygen cylinder.A (airway) – Size appropriate airway equipment:• Face mask• Nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal airways• Laryngoscope blades• ETT• Stylets• Bag-valve-mask or equivalent device.P (pharmacy) – Basic drugs needed for life support during emergency:• Epinephrine (adrenaline)• Atropine• Glucose• Naloxone• FlumazenilM (monitors):• Pulse oximeter• NIBP• End-tidal CO2 (capnography)• Temperature• ECGE (equipment):• Defibrillator with paddles• Gas scavenging• Safe electrical outlets (earthed)• Adequate lighting (torch with battery backup)• Means of reliable communication to main theatre site.
![Page 13: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Sisterrrrrrrrrr......…. I meant LARYNGOscope , not this… ENDOscope…,please get me one…..• emergency trolley with a defibrillator
should be immediately available.• always check O2 source, cylinder keys,
illumination of laryngoscopes,working suction, emergency and resuscitation drugs enough number of extension lines (high pressure and low pressure), operating table functionality soon after you enter the room….
• back-up of at least one full E type oxygen cylinder is advisable;
![Page 14: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Monitors
• Pulse Oximeter, NIBP, ECG and ETCO2 are a minimum requirement.
• In a non-intubated patient, ETCO2 monitoring can be achieved by taping the sampling line to the patient’s upperlip
• The expired CO2 is sensed along with the graphic display of respiration.
• peripheral nerve stimulator
![Page 15: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
"Nero Fiddled While Rome Burned." try to prevent emergence of Neros within us
• In remote areas, where darkness and big machines prevails, ETCO2 can be very helpful.
• If possible, mobilise end-tidal CO2 monitoring from the operating theatres.
• Monitoring may be a particular challenge in the MRI suite
![Page 16: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
DON’T DONATE THE ETT TO SURGEON…
• Certain procedures require circuits and monitors with long extension tubings e.g. Interventional neuroradiology….
• An AMBU should also be available to provide positive pressure ventilation in case of oxygen failure.
![Page 17: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Lonely walk through dangerous paths!
• Staff trained only in their speciality • sole responsibility of the
anaesthesiologist to check and ensure safety
• ensure that rapid communication to colleagues in the main theatre suite is possible.
• identify an assitant to help • Check consent
![Page 20: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Think , Plan and Communicate
• Think and plan the moment you get the call
• Anticipate problems before starting the case;
• Help from main theatre may be slow to arrive.
![Page 21: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CHALLENGESPROCEDURE
.
![Page 22: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Poor illumination
• Many procedures are carried out in darkened rooms
[e.g. interventional radiology or endoscopy]
• Should be able to visualise the flow meters and to check accurate gas flows.
• we must be vigilant to detect unexpected events such as cessation of oxygen delivery and ETT disconnection
![Page 23: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
WEL[L]COME……. We have arranged a very nice trap , both for you and our patient….• Beware of the situation where the
anesthesiologist is called after the intervention has started and the patient is found to be uncooperative.
• Without a prior plan or airway assessment the situation is hazardous – if situation allows, it is better to abort the procedure and come back another day when things can be planned properly.
![Page 24: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The extremes…!
• Some areas are poorly equipped to deal with any kind of emergency
• E.g. Burn dressings, muscle biopsies etc done at bedside
![Page 25: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Positioning
• Patients undergoing ERCP, Endoscopy and CT guided biopsies lateral or prone position.
• ? pillows are available for safe prone positioning ? All other routine precautions for prone position..
• Prone position becomes difficult if the patient requires routine resuscitation – reposition the patient rapidly if this is the case.
![Page 26: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Duration of the procedure
• Duration : difficult to predict • They may finish very abruptly :
Avoid long-acting muscle relaxants and maintain close communication with the specialist performing the procedure.
![Page 27: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Post-procedure care
• Transport to a standard recovery room with the monitors along with the anaesthesiologist
• oxygen during transport. • Patients who require elective
postoperative ventilation must be transferred with continuous monitoring
![Page 28: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Post-procedure care
• Patients undergoing aneurysm coiling may need to be ventilated in the postoperative period.
• The availability of an ICU bed has to be confirmed prior to the procedure.
![Page 29: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
SOME SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Anaphylaxis to iodinated dyes is possible. All the drugs for Rx of anaphylaxis should be immediately available.
• Radiation exposure - anaesthesia personnel should be aware of the radiation hazards and take precautions to avoid radiation exposure.
• Intermittently check, whether your syringe pump is running and adequate amount of drug is remaining, 3-ways are turned in the proper direction, breathing pattern is normal,
![Page 30: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Dealing with the most important person in any setting...
• the reason for which they require the intervention,
• associated co-morbidities. • Fasting status • a quick airway assessment :
unanticipated difficult airway is very challenging in remote
• Presence of dentures

I won't cooperate man.......
• Children• anxious patients• Claustrophobic patients (especially in
MRI suites) • • Elderly or confused patients • Patients undergoing painful procedures • Patients requiring burns dressings.

CHOICE OF ANAESTHESIA
• Monitoring only [do not require an anaesthesiologist]
• Sedation• Regional anaesthesia• Total intravenous anaesthesia• General anaesthesia.
![Page 35: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Sedation/anagesia: easier ; but ensure frequently that you are not in trouble!
• less invasive • cost and time saving• high rate of failure• high chance of airway and
respiratory depression
![Page 36: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Definition of general anesthesia and levels of sedation /analgesia [Approved by the ASA,2009]
![Page 37: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
MAINTAIN THE BALANCE…
• The degree of safety in conscious sedation is much higher than deep sedation.
• The patient can easily drift from a state of conscious sedation to deep sedation, depending on his age, sensitivity to drugs, health status etc.
• Titration and adjustment of the doses of the sedative agents requires skill and experience.
![Page 38: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA)
• Drugs are used intravenously, for hypnosis and analgesia.
• Airway chin lift/jaw thrust / an oropharyngeal airway / LMA may be used if the patient is deeply anaesthetised.
• oocyte retrieval, in vitro fertilisation and foetal reduction in ultrasound rooms usually fentanyl + propofol
![Page 39: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
General Anaesthesia
E.g. Interventional Neuro radiology, MRI suite etc
tracheal intubation / LMA best prevention of motion invasive, time and resource
consuming atelectasis
![Page 40: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
…….Regional anaesthesia
• Combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia e.g. for EVAR - Endovascular aneurysym repair.
• The conscious patient can communicate and this is a major safety consideration.
![Page 41: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
DOCUMENTATION OF ANAESTHESIA
• A time-based anaesthesia flow sheet • Drugs administered – time and dose• SaO2 , Heart rate , Respiratory rate , NIBP –
can omit if minimal sedation, e.g. during MRI/CT
• Level of sedation• Observations should be performed at 15
minute intervals for conscious sedation, and 5 minute intervals for deep sedation and general anaesthesia.

CHOICE OF DRUGS
• This depends on the procedure being performed, and whether this is painful or painless.
• e.g. MRI scan compared to endoscopy compared to a change of burns dressings.
![Page 43: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
DRUGS• Midazolam: In paediatric
patients, intranasal midazolam has also been tried successfully.
• Fentanyl : 0.25-0.5mcg.kg-1 is usually sufficient.
• Propofol : A careful and slow intravenous injection of propofol is an ideal choice.
• Ketamine• Ketofol: provides good
hemodynamic stability.• Remifentanil : An ideal drug
but not available in India • Prilox cream

PROPOFOL- an easy method…. Load with 2 mg/kg over 10
minutes in a 50 mL syringe-pump
For e.g. 10 kg child: 20mg=2mL X 6 = 12mL/hr (for first 10 mins) ; then…
If you set the maintenance as half this dose (i.e. 6 mL/hr)
This will be equivalent to 100 ug/kg/min infusion of propofol…..

Contrast media
• Allergic reaction• History• Symptoms: skin reactions,
airway obstruction, angioedema, and cardiovascular collapse.
• Treatment: corticosteroids, H1 and H2 blockers. Oxygen, epinephrine, β2-agonists, and intubation , IV fluids
• Prevention: corticosteroids

Anesthesia for CT
• Less complex• Use standard monitoring• Less anesthetic time• Higher levels of radiation
exposure

Anesthesia for MRI-Physical environment
• High magnetic field• Uncertain duration • Need specialized compatible
equipment • Radiofrequency noise• Metallic implants or
implanted devices• Patients with implanted
pacemakers, ICDs, or pulmonary artery catheters may not have
MRI scans.
![Page 55: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Special circumstances - Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• NEVER take any ferrous metal into the MRI suite – includes laryngoscopes, scissors and stethoscopes and mobile phones.
• In an emergency, take the patient out of the MRI room, do not take the emergency equipment to the patient.
• can keep noise blockers in patients ears
![Page 56: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

MRI- Conduct of anaesthesia
• In the MRI centre Anaesthesia is induced outside the MRI room and the patient is transferred to the MRI compatible machine in the room.
• Slave monitors must always be kept outside the MRI room.
• From these monitors we can see the respiratory tracing, ETCO2, PR, BP etc
![Page 58: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
• Mainly to treat major depression• Typically, ECT is performed twice
weekly until there is a lack of further improvement [6 to 12 treatments over 2 to 4 weeks]
• Physiologic effects: > a grand mal seizure tonic phase :
10 to 15 s, >clonic phase :30 to 50 s.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
• > first reaction: parasympathetic discharge lasting 10–15 s. This can result in bradycardia, hypotension, or even asystole
>following reaction: hypertension,arrhythmias, tachycardia, lasts for 5-10min↑O2 consumptionM.I.
Left ventricular systolic and diastolic function can remain decreased up to 6 h after ECT
ICP, intraocular and intragastric pressure increase

ECT-Anesthetic goals
1. amnesia and rapid recover2. Prevent damage 3. Control hemodynamic
response. 4. Avoid interference with
initiation and duration of induced seizure.

Anaesthetic technique
No Sedative premedication Patients should be encouraged
to empty their bladder as incontinence is common
Standard monitors (ECG, SPO2 , BP)
Place rolled gauze pads
![Page 65: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
U R THE , NOT THE DRUG
Objective : a rapid onset and offset of both unconsciousness and muscle relaxation for the duration
All currently available induction agents are suitable for ECT , except ketamine.
Whichever drug is used, it is preferable to utilize the same one throughout a course of treatment to avoid interfering with the seizure threshold (which generally increases over a course of ECT).

Was there 4 quite some time; now a hero!
Preoperative α-2 agonists such as dexmedetomidine also blunt the hyperdynamic response as does glyceryl trinitrate, which should be considered in patients at high risk of myocardial ischaemia.
Can use labetalol or esmolol when necessary.

Done it!
Succinylcholine (0.5 mg kg−1) is most commonly used. Larger doses up to 1.5 mg kg−1 may be required
Glycopyrrolate has superior anti-sialogogue effects, no adverse central nervous system effects, and results in less post-ECT tachycardia.
Routine atropine premedication is not recommended due to detrimental effects on myocardial work and oxygen demand.
Deleterious sympathetic effects may be controlled with β-blockers either pre- (atenolol) or intra-procedurally (labetalol and esmolol)
![Page 69: NON OPERATING ROOM ANAESTHESIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/555c0515d8b42a5b448b55a2/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Anaesthetic technique
Intubation- not routinely required, ventilation can be gently assisted with a face mask.
Hyperventilation lowers the seizure threshold and can prolong seizure duration.
a bite block protects the patient's teeth, lips, and tongue.
During initial treatments, the stimulus magnitude may be titrated until an adequate seizure is generated. In such circumstances, further boluses of induction agent are required to maintain anaesthesia.

ECT- adverse effects• confusion, agitation, violent
behaviour, amnesia, headache, myalgia, and nausea and vomiting.
• Emergence agitation can be the most challenging problem to treat.
• Small doses of midazolam may be useful if simple measures such as a secluded, calm recovery environment do not help.
• The presence of a trained escort familiar to the patient can be reassuring.

ECT- adverse effects• arrhythmia • myocardial infarction • laryngospasm • aspiration• Transient ischaemic deficits,• intracranial haemorrhage, • cortical blindness• status epilepticus; Terminate seizure
with propofol or benzodiazepines within 3 minutes
• Disorientation, • impaired attention, and • memory problems
What anaesthesia you ve given? Patient is disoriented…..

Anesthesia for neuroradiologic procedures• A. Endovascular embolization
• Indication: cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas and malformations , vascular tumors
• Methods: femoral artery puncture, a small catheter into the aneurysm
• Anesthetic goals :stable hemodynamics, and rapid recovery
• Other problem: Invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring , avoid hypertension, monitor anticoagulation, complications include rupture of the aneurysm
