10 m/o with "new Dx heart murmur" for cardiac MRI. Otherwise healthy, term delivery. Mask induction -> IV -> vec -> tube. Transport to magnet, hookup to schmancy new Drager Fabius MRI machine that has been used at least twice since installation successfully. Set the vent, fiddle with monitors, kid slides into the magnet, everything looks OK.
Then the screen on the vent goes out. Black. Nada. Scan hasn't started yet, staff is still present. You scan the machine, bellows is still rising, all other components appear to have power. Chest is still rising. ETCO2 is present. VSS.
What do you do?
