Complications of three deep sedation methods for magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract: Background:Propofol and pentobarbital are commonly used to sedate children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Aim/Objective:To compare the safety of three types of sedation: intravenous propofol (PROP), mixed pentobarbital/propofol (PENT), and mixed pentobarbital group requiring supplemental sedation (PENT SUPP) regimens in pediatric patients following deep sedation (DS) for noncardiac MRI.Materials and Methods:We conducted a case-control study matching 619 cases with complications with 619 controls u… Show more

“…Distress during acquisition may lead to premature termination of the scan or reduce image quality due to motion artifacts, impeding proper interpretation of images [6]. Therefore, many patients need conscious sedation to complete the examination [12,13], which requires monitoring of vital functions and exposes patients to the risk of severe complications [14]. Furthermore, medical sedation requires an experienced operator to ensure maximum efficiency, which is not available in all hospitals or outpatient centers [15].…”

“…Movement of the patient during the operation may interfere with image interpretation and disrupt the scan, which may necessitate repeating the procedure. Therefore, GA produces better MRI image quality than sedation because of preventing patient movement ( 13 ).…”

“…Furthermore, preoperative imaging is not without risks, especially in pediatric patients, in whom exposure to multiple CT scans (≥4) may lead to an increased risk of future neoplasms (8,9). Although this is averted with MRI, the longer scan time may require sedation in young children with its own associated risks (10). Despite the high costs and potential risks of preoperative imaging, its utility has not been extensively studied and may depend on the patient's age.…”
