  • Subjects presenting as out-patients, scheduled to receive an anesthetic for MRI of body (spine, chest, abdomen, and/or pelvis) and/or extremity (arm and/or leg).
  • The subject must be a candidate for both anesthetic techniques. This decision will be made by a staff member of the Department of Anesthesiology. This staff member will not be a member of the study team and will obtain the consent for Anesthesia.
  • The subjects must be 12 months to 7 years (inclusive of the seventh year).

  • The subject has a history or a family (parent or sibling) history of malignant hyperthermia.
  • The subject has life-threatening, medical conditions (American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status 4, 5 or 6).
  • The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification scale is a measure of physical status or how healthy the patient is.
  • For our study, we will focus on children which are defined as ASA I, II or III which means a healthy child (ASA I), a child with a systemic disease that is mild and well controlled (ASA II) or a child with systemic disease that is severe and controlled (ASA III).
  • The subject is allergic to or has a contraindication to any of the drugs used in the study.
  • The subject has previously been treated under this protocol.
  • The subject has a tracheostomy or other mechanical airway device.
  • The subject has received within the past 12 hours an oral or intravenous alpha-adrenergic, beta-adrenergic agonist, or antagonist drugs (e.g., clonidine, propranolol, albuterol).
  • The subject is not scheduled to receive anesthesia-sedation care for the MRI.
  • The subject received one of the anesthetic regimens for the same MRI during the past six months.
