Treatments performed under conscious sedation

For what kind of people do we recommend conscious sedation

Conscious sedation is a technique indicated for the following groups of people:

1. Patients who have a high level of stress and anxiety when they have to undergo any type of dental treatment.
2. Special patients, including all those who due to their special characteristics cannot be treated either due to some type of disability or some type of syndrome.
3. All those interventions of greater complexity that may generate greater discomfort for the patient, such as cases of major implant surgery, several implants in the same session or complicated wisdom teeth extraction.

Advantages of conscious sedation

• Provides the patient with an anaesthetic effect, so they will NOT remember anything that happened during the treatment.
• It is an effective technique since the patient will be sedated but semi-awake during the procedure and therefore will be relaxed throughout the treatment. & nbsp;
• It is safe, since the anaesthetist monitors the patient and supervises the entire procedure.
• It is painless since the patient, once sedated, is anesthetized in such a way that all necessary treatment is performed under local anaesthesia.
• The number of appointments is reduced in phobic patients, ensuring they can have the full treatment in one session.
• Recovery is immediate.
• There is cooperation during surgery as the patient experiences no retching, no fear, and therefore does not interrupt treatment.

Conscious sedation consists of administering drugs to a patient either orally or intravenously with the aim of ensuring relaxation as well as achieving a & nbsp; feeling of well-being.

Conscious sedation causes a slight depression on the central nervous system, ensuring & nbsp; & nbsp; that the patient enters a state of relaxation, well-being and slight drowsiness that allows them to tolerate the dental treatment in question without being aware of duration, discomfort, or pain.

Conscious Sedation Technique. Who administers it and how is it administered?

Conscious sedation will always be applied, supervised and controlled by a medical anesthetist. CDC25 has a special license allowing us to work with sedation and we can therefore offer this service to our patients.

Conscious sedation is carried out by the anesthetist in a dental surgery specially prepared for this type of intervention since it must have the following: & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp;

• Monitoring equipment for vital signs
• Pulse oximeter to measure oxygen saturation
• Sphygmomanometer to measure blood pressure.
• Resuscitation equipment with defibrillator
• Intravenous resuscitation medication.

The patient is prepared, intravenous medication is administered, and once the anesthetist is satisfied that the patient has the level of sedation deemed appropriate, the dental work begins.
