IV sedation in Nashua, NH

With IV sedation, medication is delivered through a small IV line, usually in your arm or hand. It takes effect within moments. You'll feel deeply relaxed and drowsy. You stay able to breathe on your own and respond, but most patients drift through treatment and recall very little afterward. Because the medication is given continuously, the level of sedation can be adjusted precisely throughout your appointment. Local anesthetic is still used to keep the treatment area numb.

Before sedation, we review your medical history, medications, and any health conditions, and may consult your physician. During treatment, your heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and oxygen levels are monitored continuously. You'll receive clear instructions before your visit, which usually include not eating or drinking for several hours beforehand. You'll need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for a few hours afterward.
