Safety and feasibility of deep sedation and general anaesthesia for cardiovascular MRI studies in paediatric patients from two tertiary European centres

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of deep sedation and general anaesthesia during cardiovascular MRI in children.
• Examined the use of deep sedation and general anaesthesia for MRI scans
• Conducted the study across two tertiary European centres
• Analyzed complication rates related to both sedation techniques.
• Both sedation methods resulted in a low rate of complications during the procedures
• Competent teams strictly followed safety policies and guidelines set by hospitals
• The study supports the effectiveness of both techniques for safe MRI scans.
