Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Efficacy of sedation amongst the two groups as evaluated by- - Ease of Parental Separation as assessed by Parental Separation Score - Need for additional rescue drug requirement as assessed by sedation score (University of Michigan Sedation Scale (UMSS) Scoring) - MRI Quality as assessed by MRI quality score (by radiologist) Timepoint: Baseline, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 25 minutes, 30 minutes, 35 minutes, 40 minutes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
A) To assess following parameters in between two study groups â?¢ Occurrence of respiratory, cardiovascular adverse and other events (bradycardia, hypotension, decreased SpO2) â?¢ Time of onset and duration of sedation (in minutes) â?¢ Recovery duration (in minutes) â?¢ Ease of IV cannulation by IV cannulation score â?¢ Child response to Intranasal drug administration B) Correlation between Bi Spectral Index and UMSS C) Correlation between Bi Spectral Index and Modified Aldrete scoreTimepoint: Baseline, then every 10 minutes till 120 minutes
