Children Requiring Sedation for MRI/CT
Conditions
Brief summary
Sedation and anesthesia for diagnostic imaging represents a rapidly growing field of practice, especially in children. Propofol is the most common sedative drug administered for MRI/CT. However, this drug is associated with adverse events, including pulmonary complications, and there has been no report on these complications in Korea. The investigators reviewed 3739 charts of pediatric patients sedated for MRI/CT between January and November 2012. In this study, the investigators will report the nature and frequency of adverse events associated with sedation for MRI/CT between January and November 2012.
Interventions
DRUGpediatric sedation (propofol, ketamine, etc)
Presedation assessment was performed by hospitalists and pediatric sedation was performed by protocol in the sedation unit. Data on demographics, primary illness, ASA, snoring history, URI symptom, medications used, procedure and recovery times, medication doses, outcomes of anesthesia, airway interventions and adverse events were collected retrospectively.
