Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An increasing number of children undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In MRI, radio waves and magnetism are used to form images of the body's interior, to diagnose and monitoring diseases in children. Many children are sedated to be able to collaborate with the MRI procedure. Sedation and general anesthesia cause the child to some extent to lose the ability to regulate his or her own bodytemperature. MRI rooms are most often cold due to the function of the magnet, leading to a risk of hypothermia in young children. Conversely, the MRI scanner generates radio frequencies that are absorbed by the body and converted to heat, which especially in small children due to their large surface area can potentially result in an increase in bodytemperature. In this study we therefore want to investigate changes in bodytemperature in children who are undergoing MRI- scanning within the Neuroanesthesiology Clinic. Furthermore, we want to define possible risk factors for possible temperature changes. Our hypothesis: Children undergoing MRI scanning increase in bodytemperature.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Ear temperature is measured as we are primarily interested in describing temperature changes in the individual child and because this method is less invasive than the alternatives.

The temperature will be measured in both ears with an ear thermometer. Practically, we will measure the temperature twice when generel anaesthsia is established, and immidiately before and after the MRI scan.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age from 12 weeks to 12 years
* Children undergoing MRI scans with the help of anesthesia staff from the Neuroanesthesiology Clinic under general anesthesia or awake
* The children are recruited via prescriptions or the anesthetist immediately before scanning and outside the MRI room. All children who meet the criteria for MRI scan can be included. Acute MRI children, children admitted to intensive care and children who came is directly from the operation if consent is obtained.

Exclusion Criteria

* Inability at present. and relatives to speak and understand Danish or English. An authorized interpreter may be used for a family that does not have a Danish background and only if written and oral information material is understood otherwise the patient is excluded
* No consent to the study
* Anatomically not possible to measure ear temperature
