Sedation for patients going for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has its peculiar challenges to the Anaesthetists in the tropics where there are resource constraints. Efforts are made not to compromise patient safety by adopting ingenious means of making this facility available for patients' use. Oxygen can be administered via masks and long hoses connected to patients with ferromagnetic cylinder located outside the MRI suit. This is preceded by patient optimization and sedation in a designated area outside the MRI suit equipped with drugs and resuscitation kits. The procedure was well tolerated with good patient and radiological outcomes
