Pharmacology-Therapeutics Review Procedural Sedation and Analgesia

Robert Smith, DPM, MSc, RPh, SrFNAP

Procedural sedation (also known as conscious sedation or conscious anesthesia) is an area of medicine used throughout many practices and procedures in the dental, medical and podiatry industry. There can understandably be some confusion among both patients and medical professionals regarding procedural sedation. Procedural sedation varies in intensity from anxiolysis which is the least intense, to moderate sedation, and finally deep sedation which is the most powerful form of sedation.
