Sedation Techniques

Sedation techniques are methods used to help patients relax and feel comfortable during medical procedures. They work by calming the nervous system, reducing anxiety, and sometimes making you sleepy, depending on the type of sedation. There are different levels: minimal sedation (you stay awake but relaxed), moderate sedation (you're drowsy and may not remember much), and deep sedation (closer to sleep but still on the edge of consciousness). The method chosen depends on the procedure and patient needs, and is administered using medications through an IV, inhalation, or pills, ensuring safety and comfort during treatment.
