Anaesthetic techniques and monitoring equipment may interfere with the technical demands of magnetic resonance imaging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a light anaesthetic technique with intravenous propofol in nonintubated children. In 20 neuropaediatric patients sedation was induced with propofol 1 mg.kg-1, followed by a continuous infusion titrated to produce adequate immobilisation. Oxygen, 4 l.min-1, was administrated by paediatric face mask. Respiratory rate, end-tidal carbon dioxide tension and oxygen saturation were continuously monitored. In 10 patients capillary blood gas tensions were determined 3 and 20 min after the procedure. Data are reported as mean (SD) and the mean (SD) total propofol dose was 5 (2) mg.kg-1.h-1. Oxygen saturation remained constantly higher than 96% in all patients. End-tidal carbon dioxide tension varied between 35 (7) mmHg 3 min after induction, and 41 (6) mmHg 30 min after the start of the procedure. End-tidal to capillary PCO2 difference was 4 (3) mmHg. Within 20 min after the end of the procedure all patients were fit for dismissal to the ward. One imaging sequence out of 49 was repeated because of movement artefacts. In conclusion, intravenous propofol sedation appears to be a safe and reliable technique for paediatric sedation during magnetic resonance imaging.
