EVALUATION OF THE USAGE OF ANESTHESIA AND SEDIATION FOR PEDIATRIC IN MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of anesthesia for magnetic resonance imaging and the study has performed in Khartoum state in the period between Junes to July 2014. This study included both sexes of male and female children and gives them anesthesia in MRI to evaluate the use of anesthesia and then collect information from Khartoum Advanced center (KAC). We found that there are motives for the use of anesthesia in the MRI machine and the protocol used in this hospital is far from perfect and that there is a lack of the necessary equipment for anesthesia and safety devices to make sure for the drug optimization and caused least incidence of complications chlorine aldehyde is used. Finally, the researcher has found that the use of anesthesia for magnetic resonance imaging device helps to keep the child in the correct anatomical position, but it must be preceded by an explanation of the situation of the child to help determine the child's considerable need for anesthesia as well as the selection of quality drug appropriate for the child's age.
