Summary
Formalize anesthesia training for nonoperating room anesthesia (NORA) procedures. A dedicated curriculum is essential for resident education, covering diverse procedures, techniques, safety, and care coordination in the NORA setting.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Medical Education
Background:
- Nonoperating room anesthesia (NORA) procedures are increasing in volume and complexity.
- Anesthesiologist involvement is crucial in diverse NORA settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To emphasize the need for a formal curriculum in NORA.
- To define essential educational goals for anesthesiology residents in NORA.
Main Methods:
- Review of current practices and educational needs in NORA.
- Identification of key knowledge and skills for NORA rotations.
Main Results:
- A dedicated NORA curriculum should encompass educational objectives, procedural information, anesthesia techniques, equipment, and safety principles.
- Residents require training in efficiency, rapid recovery, and room turnover within the NORA environment.
- NORA education must integrate clinical knowledge with practical care coordination skills.
Conclusions:
- Anesthesiology resident education in NORA is essential.
- Curricula should prepare residents for the unique demands of NORA.
- Challenging residents in NORA fosters resilience and transformative learning experiences.
