A Comparison of Dexmedetomidine with Propofol for Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sleep Studies in Children
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 08/19/09

Mahmoud M et al. – Dexmedetomidine provided an acceptable level of anesthesia for MRI sleep studies in children with OSA, producing a high yield of interpretable studies of the patient’s native airway. The need for artificial airway support during the MRI sleep study was significantly less with dexmedetomidine than with propofol. Dexmedetomidine may be the preferred drug for anesthesia during MRI sleep studies in children with a history of severe OSA and may offer benefits to children with sleep–disordered breathing requiring anesthesia or anesthesia for other diagnostic imaging studies.
