Summary

This is a prospective, monocentric diagnostic study aiming to evaluate whether a sedation score obtained by a per-procedural electroencephalogram (EEG), the PSI score, could identify patients for whom a 2 μg/kg dose of DEX would not be sufficient for the successful performance of cerebral NMRI, and who could therefore benefit from a higher dosage of DEX (4 μg/kg).
