- Title:
- Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is successfully feasible in many patients aged 3 to 8years without general anesthesia or sedation.
- Abstract:
- Patients younger than 8 years are usually examined by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) under general anesthesia (GA) or sedation without intubation. Therefore, we sought to study the feasibility of CMR in patients aged 3 to 8years without GA or sedation.Data sets of 71 consecutive patients aged 3 to 8years were studied retrospectively.The total cohort was divided into 2 groups: a no-GA or sedation without intubation group (no-GA or sedation) and a GA or sedation without intubation group (GA or sedation).The patients' age, scan durations for each group, successfully answered clinical question, and number of sequences per study were compared between both groups.Scan duration in the no-GA or sedation group (n=44) was 35± 20minutes, and that in the GA or sedation group (n=27) was 60± 31minutes (P<.001). The percentage of successful reports was 95% (42/44) in the no-GA or sedation group and 89% (24 of 27) in the GA or sedation group (P=.29).CMR in patients aged 3 to 8years is usually successfully feasible without GA or sedation.
