<h2>Six-year-old Child Dies of Medical Negligence: How Much Anesthesia Is Safe For A Child During MRI?</h2>

As per the National Institutes of Health (NIH), US and a study by the Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine (YUJM), drugs for deep sedation or general anesthesia for pediatric MRI are:

<h3>(I) Chloral hydrate: a sedative hyptonic agent with no analgesic properties</h3>

The study notes that the recommended dose of chloral hydrate is 50 to 100 mg/kg, or up to a maximum of 2g. The success rate of chloral hydrate sedation for pediatric MRI varies from 78% to 100%. 

The United Kingdom (UK) National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) also recommends the use of oral chloral hydrate with a wide margin of safety in children under 15 kg.

The study also notes that children "may be encouraged to take at least clear fluids 2 hours before the procedure for successful sedation without breaking institutional fasting protocols for chloral hydrate sedation". 

<h3>(II) Pentobarbital: a medium duration barbiturate that provides potent sedation with no analgesic property. </h3>

As per the study, this can be administered via an oral or intravenous or IV route. The oral dose is administered between 4 to 8mg per kg and IV dose of 2 to 3 mg per kg. 

<h3>(III) Midazolam: it is a short-acting water soluble benzodiazepine that has anxiolytic, sedative, amanestiec, and muscle relaxant properties.</h3>

It is administered through various routes, but IV is preferred. When administered through IV, it is given at the dose of 0.1mg per kg. 

<em>Anesthetic agents include propofol and sevoflurane. </em>
