Popis: Sedation is an essential factor for pediatric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure. A long-term failure of sedation has a detrimental effect on a 1 day test plan. Given this background, this study examined the effects of sedation using a sleep deprivation method in pediatric patients scheduled to undergo an MRI examination. The current study examined 54 patients (36 boys and 18 girls) with diseases, such as epilepsy, brain tumor, development delay, mental retardation, and cerebral infarction, who were treated at our medical institution from December 2009 to March 2010. The patients were classified into two groups: group A (n = 27) with sleep deprivation, and group B (n = 27) without sleep deprivation. The mean age of these patients was 4.2 years. Comparative analysis of groups A and B was performed to assess the success rate of pediatric sedation, the time elapsed until complete sedation had been achieved, and the frequency at which patients took Pocral syrup (chloral hydrate). In group A, ...
