The increase in the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnostic use in companion animals has increased the demand for anesthesia support in a strong magnetic environment. In many instances, this may necessitate anesthesia being provided by individuals that are unfamiliar with MRI and the hazards associated with it. The objective of this article is to describe the conditions and hazards associated with a strong magnetic field, review considerations for safe and effective anesthetic management of patients during an MRI, and promote close collaboration and communication between personnel in an effort to insure staff awareness and safety. This report describes conditions that exist for the superconducting high field strength magnets, 1.0, 1.5, and 3.0 Tesla, that are commonly used for clinical imaging of companion animals. Many of these same safety and anesthesia considerations can be applied to any MRI facility.
用于伴侣动物诊断的磁共振成像（MRI）使用量的增加，使得在强磁场环境中对麻醉支持的需求也相应增加。在许多情况下，这可能需要由不熟悉MRI及其相关风险的人员来实施麻醉。本文的目的是描述与强磁场相关的情况和风险，回顾在MRI期间对患者进行安全有效麻醉管理的注意事项，并促进工作人员之间的密切协作与沟通，以确保员工的安全意识和安全。本报告描述了用于伴侣动物临床成像的超导高场强磁体（1.0、1.5和3.0特斯拉）的现有情况。其中许多相同的安全和麻醉注意事项可应用于任何MRI设施。
