Brain oxygen study in children during MRI
This study uses MRI to measure oxygen in the brains of children (birth to 7 years) who need anesthesia for a routine scan. It aims to learn more about brain blood flow in different conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is scheduled for an MRI at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
- Your child needs medication to sleep through the MRI (anesthesia).
- Your child is between birth and 7 years old.
- Your child does not have any implanted device that is unsafe for MRI (like a pacemaker).
- Your child must be stable enough for an extra 10 minutes of MRI time.

This trial studies how a baby’s brain uses oxygen during an MRI, using specific anesthesia medicines. It may help researchers better understand how anesthesia affects brain oxygen measurements in very young children.
This early study (Phase 1) tests whether an oral medicine called dexmedetomidine can help children feel calmer and be safely sedated for a brain MRI. It may help make MRI scans easier for young children who need general anesthesia.
This study uses MRI scans to check how well the kidneys work in children who are already scheduled to receive anesthesia for an MRI. It aims to make sure the anesthesia is safe for the kidneys.
This trial uses EEG (a painless head sensor test) to study brain activity during anesthesia or sedation in both children and adults. The goal is to better understand how the brain responds to these medicines, which may help improve future care.
This study looks at how levels of carbon dioxide in the breath affect brain activity during anesthesia in children. It helps doctors understand the best way to monitor and keep a child safely asleep during surgery.
This study uses MRI scans to see how two common sedatives, ketamine and propofol, affect brain activity. It may help explain how these drugs work differently in the brain.
