INHALATION SEDATION

Inhalation sedation is a technique whereby the patient breathes in a nitrous oxide mixture that quickly produces a pleasant feeling of relaxation. The aim is to control fear and anxiety during treatment and the patient remains conscious throughout. Those who are treated with this technique have a general feeling of relaxation and well-being, maintaining awareness and control of themselves at all times.

Application of inhalation sedation

Inhalation sedation is applied by means of a small mask that is placed over the patient’s nose.

The gases are mixed by the anaesthesia specialist using an electronic dosing device that safely delivers the desired percentage of nitrous oxide and oxygen. The patient breathes normally through the nose and within a few minutes will feel relaxed.
