AbstractMAC is often required for pediatric examinations outside of operating room. It is difficult to conduct MAC for pediatric population safely. In Japan, most MAC for pediatric examinations are not conducted by anesthesiologists but pediatricians. Following practices in other countries, Japan Pediatric Society, Japanese Society of Pediatric Anesthesiology and Japanese Society of Pediatric Radiology collaborated to establish the first Japanese guideline for pediatric sedation: Proposals about sedation for MRI examinations in 2013. This proposal consists of six parts; 1. informed consent 2. pre-sedation patient assessment, 3. back-up team for emergency, 4. pre-sedation NPO, 5. patient monitoring, and 6. post-sedation care. Anesthesiologists are expected to play supervisor roles of sedation operation to make the sedation environment safe, even though they can not conduct sedation by themselves.
