Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
successful rescue sedation rateup to 1 hours after MRI scaning

Sedation status was evaluated by a attending anesthesiologists every 5-10 min with a 6-point sedation scale, which was modified from the Observer Assessment of Alertness and Sedation Scale (MOAA/S; Table 1).

successful sedation was defined as an MOAA/S of between 0 and 3

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
sedation induction timeup to 30 min after rescue drug administration

Successful sedation was defined as an MOAA/S of between 0 and 2, and sedation induction time was defined as the time from rescue drug administration to the onset of satisfactory sedation

0 Does not respond to a noxious stimulus

1. Does not respond to mild prodding or shaking

2. Responds only after mild prodding or shaking

3. Responds only after name is called loudly orrepeatedly

4. Lethargic response to name spoken in normal tone

5. Appears asleep, but responds readily to namespoken in normal tone

6. Appears alert and awake, responds readily to namespoken in normal tone

Wake -up timeup to 4 hours after rescue drug administration

Children were classified as awake if the MOAA/S was between 4 and 6. Wake -up time was defined as the time from successful sedation until the time that the child awoke
