Re: Sedation for tooth extraction?
That would most likely get you get stuck off in the UK as well as you need an anesthet... anethner.. the person that knocks you out.
The article mentioned IV sedation. That's not general anesthesia. With IV sedation the patient is conscious and responsive the whole time — they're just very, um, "relaxed". Often, the patient has a gap in memory after they sober up. That said, IV sedation still isn't without risk: it suppresses respiration, and you need to keep an eye on O2 saturation.
