Anaesthesia for children and infants undergoing magnetic resonance imaging: a prospective study.

A prospective study of a method of anaesthetizing children for magnetic resonance imaging was carried out. The end-tidal carbon dioxide, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation of 23 children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging were monitored. The children underwent halothane anaesthesia breathing spontaneously via an endotracheal tube and a modified Bain breathing system. The children were divided into two age groups. In all groups the end-tidal carbon dioxide and oxygen saturation values remained at or near normal for the duration of the scan. All children were recovered within 10 min and there were no post-anaesthetic problems. We suggest, that in the absence of respiratory problems or a rise in intracranial pressure, this is a safe and appropriate technique for magnetic resonance scanning in the child.

A general anaesthesia service for magnetic resonance imaging.

A general anaesthesia service for magnetic resonance scanning is described and figures for scans under general anaesthesia for the past 5 years are presented together with a description of the anaesthesia service related to the environment, the equipment and the techniques employed. The involvement of a representative from the department of anaesthesia is necessary in the design of scanner suites if general anaesthesia services are to be provided, as they will almost certainly need to be. The revenue costs of such a service are also briefly considered.

The European Academy of Anaesthesiology--1992 and beyond.

The European Academy of Anaesthesiology was founded in 1978 as a means of meeting the challenges resulting from the introduction of the Medical Directives permitting the free movement of doctors within the European Community. The Academy is a scientific forum for anaesthetists throughout Europe--not just the EC countries--and has established its own English-language journal and multi-lingual Diploma examination. It is now embarking on a system of hospital recognition linked to intraining examinations. With the help of industry and a professional communications organization, it is also exploring the production of multi-lingual educational packages. It is believed that for effective evolution of hospital practice in Europe, medical specialties need to have their own academic organizations which will develop specialist training and which are in a position to provide appropriate advice to relevant national and European bodies.

The European diploma in anaesthesiology and intensive care.

An attempt has been made to outline the reasons for introducing this examination and the mechanics of running it. The examination is an international end-of-training examination and it is believed that it can play an important role in those countries where a national diploma does not exist but where anaesthesiologists responsible for training believe a postgraduate examination will contribute to training programmes. In addition, it has a role in easing the movement of anaesthesiologists between various European countries and helping to attain a uniformly high standard of training within the specialty.
