GI procedures are the most common types of NORA cases. However, the Endoscopy suite also may present some of our biggest challenges. In this course, “Anesthesia for GI Endoscopic Procedures,” join Dr. Mark Weiss for a 2-part video lesson on the types of cases we do, patient management, anesthesia controversies, and finally, an addendum on “Pearls” so that you may thrive in the NORA suite. Then view the slide presentation for the GI suite to allow you and your team to review and discuss the basics of care.
