Guidelines for Sedation in Neuroimaging

Guidelines for sedation in neuroimaging ensure patient safety and comfort during procedures like MRI or CT scans. They recommend using sedation only when necessary, based on the patient's age, medical history, and anxiety level. Proper monitoring is crucial to track vital signs throughout the procedure. Before sedation, healthcare providers assess risks and obtain informed consent. The goal is to minimize discomfort while maintaining a controlled environment, ensuring that the imaging is clear and effective. These guidelines help healthcare professionals provide the best care while reducing complications associated with sedation.
