sedation nursing

Sedation nursing involves safely administering medications to help patients relax or become drowsy during medical procedures. Nurses monitor vital signs, comfort levels, and overall status to ensure the patient stays safe throughout the process. The goal is to provide a calm experience while preventing any adverse effects. This requires careful assessment, precise medication administration, and ongoing observation, especially since sedation can affect breathing, blood pressure, and consciousness. Sedation nursing is a critical part of healthcare that enables complex procedures to be performed more comfortably and safely for patients.
