Sedation and Analgesia

Sedation and analgesia are medical techniques used to relax patients and reduce pain during procedures. Sedation helps calm anxiety and can make you feel sleepy or relaxed, while analgesia specifically targets pain to make procedures more comfortable. Depending on the needed level, sedation can range from mild (you’re aware but relaxed) to deep (you’re mostly unaware). These methods are carefully monitored by healthcare providers to ensure safety. They help improve the patient experience during surgeries, dental work, or other medical treatments by minimizing discomfort and stress.
