Experience the modern approach to day surgery at FACEMED, where twilight sedation transforms procedures into a more patient-friendly experience. Conscious sedation, as administered at FACEMED by a Consultant Anaesthetist, offers numerous advantages for both patients and medical facilities alike.
What is Twilight Sedation?
Twilight sedation, also known as conscious sedation or procedural sedation, is a medical state in which a patient is given medications intravenously to induce a state of relaxation and drowsiness while remaining conscious and able to respond to verbal cues and physical stimulation. This level of sedation is lighter than general anaesthesia, where a patient is completely unconscious.
The term “twilight” refers to the patient being in a state between wakefulness and deep sedation. During twilight sedation, the patient may experience a decreased awareness of their surroundings and a reduced ability to feel pain or discomfort. This type of sedation is commonly used for various medical and dental procedures, such as minor surgeries, endoscopic procedures, or certain cosmetic procedures.
