CONSCIOUS SEDATION

One of the Anaesthesiologists from our practise will carry out your procedure under Conscious Sedation. This is when you are given medicine which makes you drowsy, reduces any anxiety and relieves pain which you might perhaps otherwise experience during the procedure.

You will still be awake (but drowsy) and in control, and able to talk to your doctor. An advantage of the medication is that you may not be able to remember the procedure, although you will remember everything before being given the medication and after it has worn off.

You will be carefully monitored by your Anaesthesiologist, using specialised equipment, during the entire procedure.
