Deep Sedation

Deep sedation is a medical state where a patient is in a controlled, relaxed condition, making them less aware of their surroundings and often unable to respond to stimuli. It's deeper than moderate sedation, meaning the patient might not remember the procedure afterward and may require assistance to breathe. This level of sedation is commonly used for surgeries or procedures that might be uncomfortable or painful. Medical professionals closely monitor the patient’s vital signs to ensure their safety throughout the process. Afterward, recovery from deep sedation can vary, often requiring some time before the patient is fully alert.
