Levels of Sedation

There are three main levels of Sedation.

Anxiolysis

This is the method of light Sedation. There are several ways to sedate a patient to result to Anxiolysis. The most common is the inhalation of nitrous oxide. The patient will then be totally relaxed and ready for treatment.

Conscious Sedation

A more moderate sedation will occur from either Oral Sedation or the inhalation of Nitrous Oxide. This will induce a relaxed state where the patient is still awake and able to respond, but will feel in a state of extreme relaxation.

Deep Sedation

This is often the state between conscious and unconsciousness. The patient will not be able to respond to any commands.
