Purpose Of Review:
The diagnostic and therapeutic use of radiation modalities is an integral part of cancer care that is being used more frequently. Organization and planning for anesthesia out of the operating room poses many challenges that are addressed in this review.
Recent Findings:
Anesthesia providers are called upon to enable radiologists to accomplish a variety of procedures that are not possible without anesthesia intervention. These cases present significant challenges with regard to equipment set up, monitoring and choice of anesthesia for each patient. Recent literature focuses on guidelines for monitoring, patient safety, anesthetic choice and management.
Summary:
Anesthesia care in the radiation suites is increasingly in demand for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. Organization of all aspects of anesthetic care in radiation suites can be challenging. Planning for each type of procedure and individual patients as well as equipment set up and postoperative care is evolving.
