Summary
A 30-year-old male comes to the radiology suite for an MRI of his lower spine for cauda equina syndrome. He has lower extremity weakness, morbid obesity, and obstructive sleep apnea. He is too afraid to enter the scanner and would rather be paralyzed than get into the machine. The only way an MRI will be obtained is if the patient has general anesthesia as per the radiologist. He is fasted and ready to go in the scanner when you get the call.
