Abstract |
Objectives |
The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and the efficacy of a dexmedetomidine-based protocol followed by anesthesiologists unaccustomed to using dexmedetomidine during pediatric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations compared to conventional halogenated general anesthesia.
Methods |
This was a single-center retrospective cohort study including patients younger than 18 years who underwent sedation for MRI between August 1, 2018 and March 31, 2019. Patients who received dexmedetomidine were included in the DEX group and patients who had general anesthesia formed the GA group. Patients were matched with a ratio of 2 GA:1 DEX, based on age and type of MRI examination.
Results |
Overall, 78 patients were included (DEX=26; GA=52). Dexmedetomidine was significantly associated with a decrease in invasive ventilation (p<0.001) with no impact on image quality. The sedation failure rate was 42% with dexmedetomidine vs. 0% with general anesthesia (p<0.001). All cases of failure followed the intranasal administration of dexmedetomidine.
Conclusion |
Dexmedetomidine seems to be a suitable sedation option for pediatric MRI. It provides an alternative to halogenated general anesthesia with the aim of limiting exposure to conventional anesthetic agents and invasive ventilation.
