Patient monitoring in MRI/CT

-How are your patients monitored, if at all, when they receive medications for pain or anxiolysis prior to imaging?
-Do you have criteria when a RN must accompany for monitoring?
-Is the primary RN monitoring the patient or is it a RN from MRI/CT?
-Are you using capnography?
Thanks in advance,
