[Sedation with sevoflurane for magnetic resonance imaging in pediatrics: retrospective study of 5864 cases].
To evaluate the use of sevoflurane for sedating pediatric patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging studies. ⋯ Sevoflurane is useful for sedating pediatric patients in the setting of this study. Induction is rapid and gentle, and maintained sedation is constant, stable and homogeneous. Awakening and recovery are rapid, and the incidence of complications low.
