Medicine:Sedoanalgesia
From HandWiki
Sedoanalgesia is the practice of combining sedation with local anesthesia, usually in the case of surgery. In medical studies, administering sedoanalgesia has been shown to be cost- and time-effective when compared to general or regional anesthesia, and it can reduce the amount of nursing staff, anesthetists, and equipment required for a given procedure. Frequently used in patients who present with considerable risk from conventional anesthesia and with elderly patients with co-morbid medical conditions.[1]
Medical Uses
Used in endoscopic gastrointestinal procedures, dental procedures, and minimally invasive surgeries.[2]
