Sedation is a state of sleep that is given to the patient by anesthesiologists while he is
conscious, by administering some drugs. It is not general anesthesia, but patients do not feel
any pain or pain in minor surgical interventions. In the sedation state, the patient is conscious
and can receive commands from his doctor.
Sedation is applied in disabled patients because it provides more comfortable working. There
are two types of sedation, medium and deep. Usually, the patient can react to very serious
pain, but he does not feel pain. It differs from narcosis in many ways. A deep sleep state does
not occur as in narcosis.No tube is placed in the mouth and throat during sedation. It provides a very comfortable
working space for the doctor. Sedation applied to patients with a low pain threshold allows the
treatment to be carried out comfortably both for the patient and the physician.
In addition, sedation can be applied comfortably in patients with dental phobia and gag reflex.
