Safe paediatric sedation in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suite can be challenging. The challenges intensify in uncooperative syndromic children compounded by an accentuated risk of periprocedural cardio-respiratory complications with anaesthetic sedation in this peculiarly predisposed subset. Amidst ardent debates on the ideal sedative agent for paediatric MRI, we report an encouraging application of ketamine-dexmedetomidine combination (ketodex) sedation for MRI in our case-series including syndromic children with coexistent congenital cardiac anomalies.
在磁共振成像(MRI)室中实现安全的儿科镇静具有挑战性。对于不合作的综合征患儿而言,这些挑战更加严峻,因为在这个特别易患疾病的亚组中,麻醉镇静会加剧围手术期心肺并发症的风险。在关于儿科MRI理想镇静剂的激烈辩论中,我们在病例系列中报告了氯胺酮-右美托咪定联合(氯胺酮-右美托咪定)镇静在MRI中的令人鼓舞的应用,该病例系列包括患有先天性心脏异常的综合征患儿。
