I'm getting An MRI Done Monday December 19th With IV sedation Due to being extremely Anxious and very claustrophobic I think the Sedatives they use are Fentnayl and Versead

I kinda want to be sedated during my MRI if i have one because I don't think I can keep still for a while xD

They did my MRI with anesthesia. They let me use the lipgloss. The IV had highlighter. It smelled like nail polish like you said.

I have to get sedated and I also have to get an IV and I'm honestly very nervous do you have any tips?

You forgot to tell the risk of acquired brain injuries from anesthesia. This can happen even with sedation.

I am getting an MRI on September 14 and i want to ask do the patients go to the Recovery room after the MRI

[SebbyNilsen]

I've tried that as a kid too. I got a IV, not a mask. It tasted like pizza with pepperoni. I had my everydays clothes on during the MRI.

[kellyruddy]

As you mentioned, is is it similar to OR

I’ve had about 1000 MRI’s done brain tumor and I tend to get really claustrophobic

This isn’t right... I had an MRI with Anastasia today and mmm trust me it wasn’t the best. I’m not trying to scare anyone but they had to give me an oxygen tube. They may not have to for you but if you have trouble breathing they will. Also I went to recovery and I was crying for no reason and I was so mad I don’t even know why 😂

[avelinofernandes]

That's scarry bu I do not like the anesthesia Mask because I had it and it Scared me.

[kellyruddy]

It’s sounds are different. What is anesthesia for?

[utheinmoe]

How old should the MRI be for the newborn?

[kellyruddy]

They used the medicine. It smelled like grape.

[kellyruddy]

I understood how they did this. I had contrast. It smelled like a pen.
