Abstract

Monitoring of the vital signs and the possibility of respiratory spport are necessary conditions for the application of magnetic resonance imaging to infants and geriatric patients as well as during intensive care therapy. Since April 1986, 73 patients have been scanned under general anesthesia with controlled artifical ventilation in the Gro.beta.hadern University Hospital. For the first time, the ventilator could be placed in the vicinity of the magnetic resonance imaging scanner. With this system, the anesthesiologist is able to inspect the patient, ventilator, and monitoring unit from one place in the examination room.
