intravenous sedation

Intravenous sedation is a medical procedure where medication is administered directly into a patient's bloodstream through a vein using a needle. This approach helps to relax patients, reduce anxiety, and dull pain during various medical or dental procedures. Unlike general anesthesia, patients remain awake but often feel calm and may have limited memory of the procedure. It allows doctors to perform their tasks more efficiently while ensuring the patient is comfortable. The effects of the sedation can vary, and the dosage is carefully controlled by the healthcare provider to ensure safety.
