Service Providers for Sedation (P)
Sedation (P) is used to induce relaxation or sleepiness during medical procedures, making them more comfortable. The process involves administering sedative medications through an IV or other means. Preparation may include fasting for several hours before the procedure. During sedation, the patient remains relaxed or asleep but may still respond to stimuli. Risks include allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, and low blood pressure. Afterward, patients are monitored until the effects wear off. Conditions like allergies, respiratory issues, or heart problems may affect sedation. Results are not directly tied to sedation but are related to the procedure performed while sedated.
