Mechanical Ventilator outside of Scan room |
| |
I recently visited a site where a patient on mechanical ventilation from ICU was having an MRI. The ventilator and IV pumps were located outside the room with the tubing running through two sleeves in the wall (brass or other non-ferrous sleeve) to the patient.
Is this common? Is this safe? Are their problems associated with this?
sorry if I sound ignorant, I am not an MRI tech.
