What is conscious sedation?
Created: Monday, July 19, 2004
This is a very light form of anaesthesia where the patient does not even lose consciousness. It is used for procedures such as gastroscopies. Sedative drugs are used in very low doses so that the patient is rendered free of any anxiety and discomfort, but can communicate verbally throughout the procedure.
