Brief Summary  

  • At MR induction room the children were randomly allocated to one of the three groups as per the order obtained from a computer generated table of random numbers. Patients in each group were stipulated to any of the 3 groups as per the following protocol.

    Group- P (n-50)   - received propofol (1%) initially at 2-2.5mg/kg over 10minutes followed by infusion of propofol 100 μg/kg/min until the completion of MRI. 

    Group D (n-50)  - received dexmedetomidine initially at 2μg/kg bolus over 10 minutes followed by dexmedetomidine infusion at 1 μg/kg/hour until the completion of MR imaging.  

    Group PD (n- 50) - received propofol 2 -2.5mg/kg over 10 minutes followed by dexmedetomidine infusion at1μg/kg/hour until the completion of MRI. 

    Monitoring during this time period includes SPO2, ETCO2, NIBP, HR and RR that was continued throughout the study time at each 5minutes interval. Sedation levels were evaluated from the Modified Ramsay sedation score (MRSS) at every 5-minute time intervals. MR Imaging was started once the sedation level of 4 was reached as assessed from the MRSS. Outcome variables assessed at defined time points. Children were observed till complete recovery from sedation and the recovery characteristics noted.
