Anesthesia minimal sedation

Anesthesia minimal sedation, also known as light sedation, is a state where a patient is relaxed but still awake and responsive. This level of sedation allows individuals to tolerate minor procedures, such as dental work or minor surgeries, without feeling anxious or uncomfortable. While under minimal sedation, patients can maintain their ability to breathe on their own and can respond to verbal commands, but they may feel drowsy or less aware of their surroundings. This approach aims to make medical procedures easier for patients while ensuring their safety and comfort.
