Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) room is a special environment. There is the strong magnetic force around the magnetic gantry at all times, even if the MRI scanner is not turned on. The required intense magnetic fields create unique problems with the use of standard anesthesia machines, syringe pumps, and physiologic monitors. The scanning procedure lasts for an hour and the patients requires complete immobilization during the scanning for obtaining high-quality images for the best diagnosis. Hence, ntravenous Sedation was preferred for management of this case. Dexmedetomidine was an excellent choice in effective sedation and easy titration for required sedation level and shorter recovery times. We present a successful management of a case of 2-year patient of Meningomyelocele posted for MRI scan.
