IV Sedation is usually administered pre-op to an anxious patient, or post-op for the same reasons. IV sedation is most frequently piggy-backed into an existing IV. The reason for this is, contrary to TV, finding a vein with a combative patient is difficult and dangerous. IV's are hooked up to trauma patients when necessary, but rarely for the sole reason of administering IV sedatives.

What are the long term effects of iv sedation?

Long-term effects of IV sedation are generally minimal for most patients, as the sedatives used are designed for short-term use and are metabolized quickly. However, some individuals may experience residual drowsiness, cognitive impairment, or mood changes that can last for hours or days after sedation. In rare cases, prolonged use or sensitivity to sedatives can lead to dependency or more significant cognitive issues. It's important for patients to discuss any concerns with their healthcare provider before undergoing sedation.


Why can you not eat or drink anything 6 hours before your IV sedation?

You cannot eat or drink anything 6 hours before your IV sedation to reduce the risk of aspiration, which occurs when stomach contents enter the lungs during sedation. An empty stomach helps ensure that the airway remains clear and minimizes complications during the procedure. Additionally, fasting helps enhance the effectiveness of the sedation, allowing for safer management of the sedation process. Always follow your healthcare provider's specific instructions regarding fasting.
