The frequency of adverse airway events during emergence and recovery after propofol infusion by nasal cannula is better than nitrous oxide administration in children undergoing MRI scan. Deep sedation or anesthesia is generally performed in pediatric patients who are scheduled for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The adequate amount and accurate administration ensure that patients do not move or become anxious due to auditory stimulation because being in the scanner core. Two common regimens are typically used for anesthesia in pediatric patients.
They are viz. intravenous anesthesia with continuous infusion of propofol and oxygen by nasal cannula, and secondly, isoflurane/N2O anesthesia delivered through laryngeal mask airway (LMA). The scientists from the USA recently published a study which assessed whether the number of perianesthetic airway events after propofol infusion with…
