Popis: | Anaesthetists are increasingly involved in patient care during magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. This paper describes a system which has been developed for the management of critically ill patients and the conduct of anaesthesia in a magnetic resonance unit with a 1.6 tesla whole body magnet. Difficulties which arise from working in a confined space in a high magnetic field are highlighted. Different approaches to anaesthesia, sedation and the modification of equipment for use in this environment are reviewed. The problems associated with patient monitoring within a magnetic field are discussed and some solutions are suggested. A transport system for critically ill patients is described and a protocol for management is outlined. |
