Phase 1 Terminated 98 enrolled Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelHealth-services research

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine if there is a significant difference in the quality of care between the investigators' two standard anesthesia techniques for children undergoing a MRI of the body and/or extremity MRI. Quality of care will be measured by time spent in the MRI room as well as parental satisfaction, frequency of interruptions of the MRI scan, incidence-severity of respiratory complications, post anesthesia agitation, and time spent in the induction room, MRI room, and Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU).
