The sedation treatment process

The sedation process will vary slightly depending on the type of sedation being used, but overall, here's what you can expect before and during your appointment:

1

Consultation

Before the procedure, your doctor will have a consultation with you to discuss your medical history and any concerns you may have. This is to ensure that the type of sedation used is appropriate and safe. Pre-sedation instructions will also be outlined, including fasting prior to the procedure and having an escort to take you home.

2

Administration of Sedation

Once the appropriate sedation method has been determined, the medication will be safely administered through a mask, an IV line, or in the form of a pill. 

3

Monitoring and Recovery

During the procedure, your vital signs will be constantly monitored to ensure your safety. You will be kept safe and comfortable for the procedure. After the procedure is complete, you will recover in a comfortable and relaxed setting.
