DEEP SEDATION: When General Anesthesia is too Risky

Описание: Deep sedation is a medical procedure that accompanies the patient to an artificial sleep before surgery.
Unlike what happens during general anesthesia, in which the patient loses
completely the state of consciousness, with deep sedation this state can be
restored with intense stimulation.
Deep sedation is a procedure that boasts excellent safety margins.
It is particularly suitable during surgical operations of a certain duration, or where the patient must hold uncomfortable positions for a long time.
It finds wide application in cosmetic surgery, major orthopedics, vascular surgery, dental procedures and in general where it is possible to avoid complete general anesthesia, which can cause greater discomfort and risks.
Deep sedation has now become a routine procedure, well received by both patients and healthcare professionals.
