If you have an IV in. Otherwise, taking any benzodiazepine tablet an hour before usually works.Originally Posted by Ken Fitzgerald
I had LASIK done in Canada 28 years ago. Supposedly there were tiny metal fragments in one of my eyes. So before my first MRI they did a head X-ray, and determined no issue. And, having anesthetized many patients in MRI scanners, you really have to be even more OCD than usual regarding ferromagnetic equipment. Fortunately, over the years many monitoring devices that we need to safely anesthetize patients became available to use in MRI scanners. But it is a PIA. When I read news articles regarding bad mishaps (oxygen tanks, metal carts, etc...) I shake my head. Never, ever should have ever happened.
Really learned a ton from Ken's post. Thanks for that.
