Anaesthetic Challenges
21.
Smooth induction, maintenance and recovery.
Airway maintenance and adequate oxygenation.
Prevention of bradycardia and tachypnoea.
Prevention of over secretion and laryngospasm.
Maintenance of adequate fluid balance.
Prevention of hypothermia .
Anaesthetic Goals
22.
After evaluating history, physical
examination, investigations and airway
assessment patient was accepted for

Monitoring
29. In Postoperative ward –
NPO for 02 hours
IV fluid: Baby saline
Vital signs monitoring:
Heart rate

When the baby is fully awake – shifted to ward after 02 hrs.
Post Procedure Care
31. Sotos syndrome is autosomal dominant disorder.
The syndrome was first described in 1964 in by Juan F Sotos
Mutations in the NSD1 gene cause Sotos syndrome.
This syndrome is characterized by overgrowth and
advanced bone age.
Diagnosis is based on physical examination & other
symptoms.
Not a life-threatening disorder, treatment is symptomatic.
Incidence is approximately 1 in 14,000 births.
Sotos syndrome
32. Non operating room anesthesia (NORA) refers to administration
of sedation/anesthesia remote from hospital’s main operating
room to patients undergoing painful or uncomfortable
procedures.
Non Operating Room Anaesthesia (NORA)
41.
Inadequately trained or insufficient staff.
Poor communication system.
Difficulty in transportation of patients in case of
emergency.
No co-located recovery room.
Anaesthetic Challenges ...cont’d
42.
Narrow tunnel.
Limited access to the patient.
Keeping the patient calm and quite.
Claustrophobia.
Anaesthetic Challenges in MRI suite
43.
Difficulty in using ferromagnetic equipments ( risk of
accident by projectiles)
Nonavailability of MRI compatible
equipments.
Loud noise.
Allergic reactions to contrast dyes.
Cold environment.
Anaesthetic Challenges in MRI suite ...cont’d
44. Each location should have :
- Sufficient space.
- Skilled staff.
- Reliable source of oxygen, with a backup supply.
- Adequate and reliable source of suction.
- MRI compatible anaesthetic & standard monitoring aids .
- Adequate anaesthetic drugs, supplies, and equipments .
Recommendations
45.
All potentially hazardous articles (watches, rings, jewellery
and mobile phones) should be removed.
Patients should also be screened for potential risks like
cochlear implants, metallic implants and metallic vascular
clips.
Screening for the presence of ferromagnetic anaesthetic
equipments should be done before MRI procedures.

GA with Endotracheal Intubation/LMA
TIVA - common drugs used –
Ketamine with Propofol
Midazolam with Fentanyl
Propofol Infusion
Dexmedetomedine
Different Anaesthetic Techniques for
MRI
47.
Advantages:
Good control over airway
Protection against aspiration
Disadvantages:
Requires special setup
Laryngospasm
Post operative nausea, vomiting
GA with ETT/LMA
48.
Advantages:
Rapid onset & recovery
Effective and adjustable anaesthesia
Prevention of nausea and vomiting
Disadvantages:
Poor control over airway
Chance of aspiration
TIVA
50.
Non-operating room anaesthesia (NORA) is taking a vital &
versatile role in modern anaesthetic technique. NORA presents
setting specific challenges to safe anaesthesia care. Protocols and
interdisciplinary teamwork in well equipped setup can facilitate
safe, efficient and cost effective procedural care for NORA.
