Safety of a higher thiamylal induction dose in pediatric sedation for magnetic resonance imaging scans
A higher induction dose of thiamylal (5.4 ± 1.6 mg/kg) is safe and is associated with a reduced scan interruption rate for 30- to 60-min MRI scans, as well as a lower total thiamylal dose requirement. However, thiamylal is not an ideal sedative agent for MRI scans longer than 1 h.
