What
is IV Sedation?
As opposed to general sedation, in which patient is completely
unconscious, conscious sedation allows you to remain conscious but
places you in a state of deep relaxation.
Patients will be able to talk and communicate with the doctor but
will remember nothing of the appointment afterwards. Conscious IV
sedation can benefit not only more fearful patients, but also any
patient who is having a longer appointment, which some patients
find to be stressful.
Benefits of intravenous sedation include:
- Calm, relaxed patient
- Amnesic effect of sedatives so that patient forgets surgical
appointment.
- Intravenous delivery of antibiotic agents to decrease post-op
likelihood of infection
- Access for the delivery of emergency drugs for the medically
compromised patient.
