Conscious Sedation is a medical technique used to help patients relax during procedures while keeping them awake and aware. It involves administering medications that reduce anxiety and discomfort, allowing patients to respond to questions and follow instructions. This method is commonly used in dental work, minor surgeries, and diagnostic procedures.
The goal of Conscious Sedation is to provide a balance between comfort and safety. Patients typically experience a state of calmness and may have little to no memory of the procedure afterward. Medical professionals monitor vital signs to ensure the patient's safety throughout the process.
