Best Answer

Local anaesthetic with sedation involves the intravenous administration of drugs which diminish or nullify the discomfort related to surgery. It involves substances that are anxiolytic (for reducing tension), hypnotic (for making you sleepy), analgesic (for killing pain). Finally, some substances induce amnesia (you do not remember almost anything about the surgery). If the client so wishes, it is, nonetheless, possible not to have any sedation.
