Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I don't know anything about an 8 hour eeg but my daughter 5 at the time, 6 now did have a sedated MRI and she was peaceful and sleeping the whole time. I don't how, honestly, my husband and I sat in the room with her and the machine and it was extemely loud even with earplugs. She did find with it. She has had heart eeg's as well while sedated and does fine with those. **************Start the year off right.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 has to go in for an 8 hour EEG (apparently she can listen to her music with headphones which is great news...but a little surprising) and they also want to schedule a sedated MRI. Anyone with any experience with either of these please let me know. Seems like you'd have to be pretty heavily sedated not to freak out at an MRI (she won't understand an explanation about it ahead of time) but because they're so quick I wonder what is the drug of choice. Didn't someone say the hardest part of the eeg was washing the gunk out of the child's hair afterwards? Sorry to be a pest and thanks for any input. I'm about ready to use that valium suppository myself. Medwaiver just hit us up with a zillion piece of paper totally confusing mess and a 2 day deadline to have it finished. Sheesh.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Sherry, I recently posted some pictures of having his 24 hr EEG under M folder in the Photo section of the group. Since doesn’t have much hair getting the material out of his hair wasn’t much of a problem. hasn’t had an MRI so can’t help there. Years ago they used to give chloral hydrate to individuals who may have difficulty with a CT scan, don’t know if they still use that for sedation. Good luck.
