First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two sedation methods for children aged 3 months to 10 years undergoing MRI: a combination of propofol and ketamine given through a vein, versus sevoflurane gas given through a face mask. The goal was to see which method allows faster recovery and fewer side effects. The trial involved 230 children and measured recovery time, discharge readiness, and safety issues like low oxygen levels.
