  • Patient anesthesia and monitoring at a 1.5-T MRI installation.

    Karlik SJ, Heatherley T, Pavan F, Stein J, Lebron F, Rutt B, Carey L, Wexler R, Gelb A. Magn Reson Med. 1988; 7 (2): 210-21

    This paper describes the facilities successfully used to provide patient monitoring and anesthesia support in a 1.5-T imaging installation. The requirements for the MRI site for anesthetic gases, shielded power, and radiofrequency ports are outlined. Specific modifications in anesthesia machines, anesthesia cart, laryngoscope, mercury sphygmomanometer, oximeter, and remote blood pressure devices are described. Additional aspects of patient monitoring and support, e.g., electrocardiogram and pressure infusion, are also discussed.
