Purpose Of Review: With an increase in the number and complexity of procedures in nonoperating room anesthesia (NORA) locations, navigating the landscape of planning, scheduling, workflow, and patient and clinician safety adds to the challenges of NORA space, requiring coordination of multiple teams and regulatory platforms.
Recent Findings: With the constant increase in cases performed in the NORA space, expected to reach 50% of all anesthetics in the next decade, significant strides must be made in assuring patients' and clinicians' safety. New procedures have been developed and approved in all procedural areas, and anesthesiologists are leading the charge in getting all stakeholders together. Anesthesia departments face increased demand for those services, so establishing a NORA leadership to collaborate and coordinate the efforts is very important.
Summary: The review summarizes new developments in different procedural areas and their anesthetic management, and new recommendations by the American Society of Anesthesiology and Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation for the safe conduct of anesthesia in the NORA space.

Purpose: To use transabdominal ultrasound (US) to investigate the impact of posture and axial loading on the lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) dimensions in healthy adults.
Method: For this single-center, prospective cross-sectional study 54 healthy volunteers (mean age 23.76 ± 3, 26 men) underwent transabdominal US.

Background: Non-OR Anesthesia (NORA) is rapidly becoming standard in many high-volume institutions and efficiency in these spaces has yet to be optimized. On-time first start percentage has been suggested to correlate with more efficient flow, and this correlation is established within the surgical space.
Purpose: To investigate the effects of timetable targets on first case on-time first start percentage within a NORA setting.

Background: PRDM16 plays a role in myocardial development through TGF-β (transforming growth factor-beta) signaling. Recent evidence suggests that loss of PRDM16 expression is associated with cardiomyopathy development in mice, although its role in human cardiomyopathy development is unclear. This study aims to determine the impact of PRDM16 loss-of-function variants on cardiomyopathy in humans.
