ABSTRACT

Anesthesia for a magnetic resonance image (MRI) is becoming increasingly important, mainly with children and elderly patients. Anesthesiologists have to solve some difficulties of working in a unit not designed to conduit a safe anesthesia, such as providing an anesthesia without an appropriate monitoring equipment nor anesthetic machine; working in a MRI location without a central oxygen supply nor a source of suction; and facing an emergency without personnel trained in anesthesia. This article reviews provides the most important matters to conduit a safe anesthesia in the MRI scanner, including some of the most recently advises given by the ASA.
