Summary
Sixty patients aged between 1-10 years, American Society of Anesthesia (ASA) physical status
I-II scheduled for MRI were allocated in this randomized double-blinded study. Group 1
received 3 mcg/kg, Group 2 received 4 mcg/kg intranasal dexmedetomidine before imaging. From
the beginning on every 10 minutes heart rate (HR), saturation (SpO2) and Ramsey Sedation
Score (RSS) were recorded. Induction time was time interval to receive RSS 5. MRI began and
separation-score was noted. If intranasal sedation failed, an intravenous canula was placed
and propofol was applied. Imaging quality was evaluated. Recovery time was time interval to
receive Aldrete-score 9. Parents' satisfaction was questioned before patient was discharged.
