Summary

Pediatric sedation is an anesthesiological technique with a good safety profile, but various complications might ensure, especially from the respiratory point of view. No suggestion is available about a possible upper safety limit for the duration of sedation to limit respiratory issue. In order to address this topic, the investigators concentrated on the occurrence of hypoventilated lung areas, which is a well-known side effect of anesthesia and sedation. The investigators hypothesis that the length of sedation is correlated with the occurrence of lung atelectasis and hypoventilation. To assess lung hypoventilation the lung ultrasound will be used. Lung ultrasound will be performed immediately after the induction of sedation and immediately before sedation interruption, in children scheduled for magnetic resonance exams.

The study is a prospective observational study
