Early recognition of hypoxia through monitoring in sedation practices in pediatric patients

In pediatric Magnetic Resonance Imaging, sedation is applied to pediatric patients of all age groups from newborn to adolescence in order to prevent the anxiety and movement of the patients during the imaging. It was aimed to compare the capnograph and pulse oximeter used for early detection of hypoxia in patient follow-up and to monitor the depth of sedation with the sedation score in the recovery room.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients under 18 years of age who underwent magnetic resonance imaging with sedoanalgesia

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients over the age of 18,
• Those who do not speak Turkish,
• Presence of deformities in the nose and forehead,
