sedation-related complications

Sedation-related complications are issues that can occur when sedative medications are used to relax or reduce consciousness during medical procedures. These complications may include respiratory problems like slowed or difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, allergic reactions, or excessive sleepiness. While generally safe when administered properly, risks increase if the patient has underlying health conditions or if the medication is used improperly. Healthcare providers carefully monitor patients to prevent and manage these potential issues, ensuring safety throughout the procedure.
