FAQ'S
How long does IV sedation last?
IV sedation takes time to wear off and you will need a responsible adult to escort you home and stay with you overnight.
Can anyone receive IV sedation?
Not everyone is a candidate for IV sedation. We will need a medical consultation from your primary physician. Our team will then take into account your medical history, any medications you are taking, and any other factors to determine if IV sedation is safe and appropriate for you.
What should I expect during and after an IV sedation procedure?
During the procedure, the patient will feel relaxed and drowsy, and will be in “twilight sleep”. For patients’ safety, vital signs will be monitored continuously during the procedure. After the procedure is complete and vital signs are stable, the patient will be discharged awake and alert to an adult who will have to stay with the patient overnight. It takes time for the medication to wear off hence driving and operating heavy machinery should be avoided for the rest of the day and adult supervision is a must.
Can I eat before my procedure if I’m getting IV sedation?
If you are undergoing IV sedation nothing to eat for 8 hours before the procedure and nothing to drink 3 hours before.
