Penetrating orbital injuries in pediatric patients are rare but potentially vision- and life-threatening emergencies. We present the case of a three-year-old girl who arrived at the emergency department with a penetrating orbital pencil injury. The foreign body was successfully removed under general anesthesia in a minor procedure room, following established non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) safety protocols.

Non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) is a rapidly growing domain for anesthesia professionals due to advances in procedural technology and increased emphasis on patient comfort. The majority of these procedures are conducted under monitored anesthesia care (MAC) where patients receive varying levels of sedation. Analysis of the Anesthesia Closed Claims database suggests that adverse respiratory events continue to be the main cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing NORA procedures.

Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) have a great application as an alternative to tracheal intubation, prompting a paradigm shift in routine anesthetic practice. However, its usage in neuroanesthesia is limited and debatable, considering the clinical challenges and complexity of neurosurgical procedures. Even though literature evidence exits regarding successful airway management with SADs in neurosurgery, there is no clear-cut evidence or consensus among anesthesiologists.

Purpose Of Review: Nonoperating room anesthesia (NORA) has become increasingly relevant as diagnostic and therapeutic procedures move beyond traditional surgical settings. This shift introduces unique safety challenges, making it crucial to evaluate how NORA can maintain patient safety and procedural efficiency despite the lack of standardized environments and resources typical of operating rooms.
Recent Findings: Studies reveal that NORA often involves patients with complex comorbidities, requiring meticulous risk assessment and preparation.

Introduction: In high-cost, high-revenue operating room (OR) suites, dashboards displaying key performance indicators are commonplace to optimize efficiency. Given the significant successes attained, further gains may risk compromising safety. In contrast, challenges unique to non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) sites have hindered operational efficiency.
