Reducing Pediatric MRI Cancellations Through Early Anesthesia Assessment: A Retrospective Analysis at a Tertiary Care Center
Preanesthetic evaluations can reduce MRI rescheduling appointments, additional diagnostic tests, and potential delays in patient care. Operational efficiency can also be improved, along with patient safety and satisfaction. Thus, preanesthetic assessment is vital to reducing MRI cancellations and improving the efficiency of MRI services.
