BACKROUND/AIM: Sedation is necessary in children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to ensure motionless. The success of sedation is typically measured by two factors: safety (lack of adverse events) and effectiveness of the procedure (successful completion of the diagnostic examination). Propofol is frequently used to induce deep sedation in children. However, increased doses of propofol may lead to oversedation and respiratory depression. The aim of the study was to investigate sedation in children using propofol with midazolam in regard to efficacy, adverse events and time to return to presedation functional status.
