You will NOT be "knocked out". Sedation allows you to be conscious and responsive. You will be VERY SLEEPY and RELAXED. You will be able to verbalize your need and wants. You will be monitored during your entire appointment with blood pressure and pulse oximetry. Someone will be with you at all times. The sedatives used are amnesiacs-you will have little or no memory of the experience. The sedatives used relax your nervous system so you will feel very little discomfort, and will continue relax the rest of the day and to the evening and the responsible companion should be with you until the following day. |
