Purpose Of Review: As the number and complexity of cases performed in the nonoperating room environment continue to increase to a higher share of all anesthetic procedures, checklists are needed to ensure staff and patient safety.
Recent Findings: Providing anesthesia care in the nonoperating room environment poses specific challenges. Closed claims data base analysis shows a higher morbidity and mortality in this setting. This is driven by the location-related challenges, and critical patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures, as well as a higher percentage of emergency and after-hours procedures. Although adequate case preparation and maintaining the same standard of care as in the main operating room, establishing protocols and checklists for procedures in nonoperating room locations has emerged as a sound strategy in improving care and safety.
Summary: Anesthesia in the nonoperating room environment is becoming an increasing share of total anesthesia cases. Establishing protocols and implementing site-specific checklists is emerging as a strategy in improving care in the environment of nonoperating room.

As a highly destructive gaming behaviour in Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG), upcoding has garnered increasing scholarly attention. This study considers the prevalence, types and risk characteristics of upcoding during the pilot implementation of DRG payments in China, and it also explores the drivers of upcoding and provides corresponding policy recommendations for improving the system. Quantitative research data were sourced from the DRG payment audit database in City Z between the dates of June 1, 2019 and May 31, 2020, encompassing audit results comprising 200 medical records randomly selected from 28 hospitals.

This mixed methods study aimed to evaluate the effect of a one-time training on team coordination in diagnostic and interventional magnetic resonance imaging locations.
Methods: Personnel from anesthesia, radiology, and perioperative services (n = 87) underwent ICST over eight months.

Introduction: Cell processing facilities are susceptible to environmental bacteria and must maintain sterile environments to safeguard cell products. This process involves circulating air through high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, which incurs significant maintenance costs. While cost-reduction strategies have been explored in the semiconductor industry, validations specific to cell processing facilities remain unreported.

Article Synopsis
- Advances in surgical and perioperative care have diminished the necessity for prolonged mechanical ventilation in children after cardiac surgery.
- The study aimed to assess the feasibility and clinical outcomes of an early extubation strategy directly in the operating room for children, including newborns undergoing congenital heart surgery.
- Out of 163 patients analyzed, 72.4% were successfully extubated in the operating room, showing significant differences in recovery metrics compared to those extubated later, highlighting the potential benefits of early extubation.
