Conscious Sedation (CS) is a technique that is designed to relax you during selected medical and dental procedures. In Intravenous CS, the use of a sedative drug or drugs, administered via a needle that is placed in an accessible vein for the duration of the procedure. This technique produces an altered state of consciousness under which treatment is carried out.
During the surgery you will be drowsy, calm and vaguely aware of your surroundings, but you will have no pain or anxiety. Should the surgeon need to communicate verbal instructions to you, you will be able to hear them and respond.
After the procedure you may have limited or no recollection of the events while you have been sedated. In order to ensure that you are adequately and safely sedated you will be closely observed throughout your sedation. This will include both clinical and appropriate electronic monitoring.
