ABSTRACT
Sedation and anesthesia are often required in order to facilitate collection of high-quality imaging studies free of significant motion artifact for infants and neonates. Provision of safe sedation and anesthesia requires good communication between the ordering provider, radiologist, and anesthesiologist, careful pre-procedural evaluation of the patient, and availability of appropriate and sufficient equipment, drugs, personnel, and facilities. There are many additional factors to be considered for provision of safe sedation or anesthesia for infants and neonates-it is ideal to involve a fellowship-trained pediatric anesthesiologist in the planning and carry-out of these plans. In this review, we discuss some of the basic definitions of sedation and anesthesia, requirements for safe sedation and anesthesia, and many of the germane risks and additional considerations that factor into the delivery of a safe sedation or anesthesia plan for the imaging of an infant or neonate.
