Abstract
Introduction:High-resolution computed tomography (CT) imaging or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging may require brief periods of apnea for image acquisition. In adults, this may be done by voluntary breath holding. In infants and children, such studies are generally performed under general anesthesia using a laryngeal mask airway with maintenance of spontaneous ventilation.Methods:We report a...Keywords
