Abstract:Background and Aims:
Adequate sedation is essential for children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) console. Propofol is commonly used for sedation, but it has the drawback of upper airway collapse at higher doses, which may be overcome by ketamine. This study was designed to evaluate the beneficial effect of ketamine on propofol in preventing airway collapse.
Methods:
Fifty-eight children undergoing MRI were randomised to Group P (propofol bol… Show more
