Background: Pediatric anesthesia care in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a challenge for clinicians. The recent debate about the role of anesthetic agent on neural development, encouraged an evaluation of their actual activity in this environment. In this active call survey, the authors sought to delineate the Italian situation regarding national centers, staff involved, monitoring tools available and sedation techniques.

Background: Since external ventricular drainage (EVD) related infections are usually due to skin flora, an extradural intra/extra-cranial accessory device, developed for pediatric patients under three years of age undergoing EVD positioning, is described. The aim of this paper is to provide technical description of this device, underlining the possibility to reduce infective risk and to prevent EVD dislocation.
Methods: Patients undergoing A-D device EVD placement between 1990 and 2017 at authors' institution were retrospectively considered.

Background: Many pediatric and neonatal ICU patients receive nitric oxide (NO), with some also requiring magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. MRI-compatible NO delivery devices are not always available. We describe and bench test a method of delivering NO during MRI using standard equipment in which a NO delivery device was positioned in the MRI control room with the NO blender component connected to oxygen and set to 80 ppm and delivering flow via 12 m of tubing to a MRI-compatible ventilator, set up inside the MRI scanner magnet room.

Objective: To study the safety and efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-compatible incubator in cranial MRI examination for neonates.
Methods: A total of 120 neonates who were hospitalized in three hospitals and needed to undergo MRI examination were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 60 neonates in each group. The neonates in the experimental group were transferred with MRI-compatible incubator and underwent cranial MRI examination inside the MRI-compatible incubator, and those in the control group were transferred using a conventional neonatal transfer incubator and then underwent MRI examination outside the incubator.

Department of Pathology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
Purpose: Placental dysfunction plays a key role in diseases that affect the fetus in utero and after birth. Aiming to develop a platform for validating in vivo placental MRI and investigations into placental physiology, we designed and built a prototype MRI-compatible perfusion chamber with an integrated MRI receive coil for high SNR ex vivo placental imaging.
Principal Results: After optimizing placenta vascular clearing and perfusion protocols, we performed contrast enhanced MR angiography and MR relaxometry on eight carefully selected placentas while they were perfused via the umbilical arteries (UAs).
