27.
What is the most appropriate response if a patient experiences airway obstruction during a NORA procedure under sedation?
28.
In NORA, what is the most common complication associated with deep sedation in an MRI suite?
29.
Which of the following is a specific challenge when performing NORA in a dental procedure?
30.
Which of the following monitoring tools is most appropriate during a NORA procedure requiring deep sedation or general anesthesia?
31.
What should be the first step in managing a patient who becomes hypotensive during a NORA procedure?
32.
Which of the following factors is most likely to alter the pharmacokinetics of anesthetic drugs during NORA procedures?
33.
During a NORA procedure involving sedation in a radiology suite, which of the following is a critical safety feature that should always be available?
