Low‐dose dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to propofol infusion for children in MRI: A double‐cohort study

Abstract

A low-dose bolus of dexmedetomidine (0.5 μg/kg) used as an adjuvant can decrease the propofol requirement for children undergoing sedation for magnetic resonance imaging. This may decrease the need for airway support and contribute to improved hemodynamic stability without prolonging recovery time.
