Brain oxygen monitoring during MRI with anesthesia in children
This study looks at how well the brain uses oxygen during MRI with anesthesia. It tests two different anesthesia medicines to find the best way to keep children safe and comfortable during scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between birth and 7 years old.
- You already need to have an MRI scan that requires anesthesia.
- You are scheduled for the MRI at our hospital (Children's Hospital Los Angeles).
- You do not have a heart condition, muscle disease, or blood/metabolism problems that make standard anesthesia risky.
- You can tolerate an MRI scan that lasts a bit longer (up to 10 extra minutes).
- You are not a premature infant born before 25 weeks.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a liquid sedation medicine (called dexmedetomidine) that your child drinks before an MRI. The goal is to see if it works as well as general anesthesia to keep children still during the scan, with fewer side effects.
This study looks at how anesthesia affects kidney function in children during an MRI. Your child's kidney function will be checked before and after the scan to help doctors understand how these medicines work in young patients.
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 tests how different anesthesia medicines affect brain connections during surgery. Participants will be monitored while receiving one of three anesthetics to see which has the least impact on brain function.
This study looks at how brain waves change during anesthesia and sedation in adults and children. It may help doctors understand how to better monitor and adjust these medications in the future.
This study looks at oxygen levels in the brains of children and young adults (birth to 18 years) during a standard MRI. The goal is to learn more about how the brain works, and it only adds a few minutes to your child's regular MRI scan.
