The U.S. Food and Drug Administration categorizes drugs into five groups based on the evidence of their safety during pregnancy. (FDA Drug Safety Categories). However, these categories are of limited value for determining the safety of one-time use. Therefore, consultation with an obstetrician and/or an anesthesiologist regarding medication use during pregnancy should be considered. There are no category A drugs used for endoscopy sedation. In general, category B and when necessary, category C drugs are recommended. For procedural sedation during pregnancy, meperidine alone is preferred, (category B). If required, meperidine can be followed by small doses of midazolam (category D). In cases where a benzodiazepine is used, midazolam should be chosen over diazepam. However, midazolam should be avoided if possible during the first trimester

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.
At a pediatric dentist's office, sedation options for children may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedatives, and IV sedation. These methods help children relax and feel comfortable during dental procedures. The type of sedation used will depend on the child's age, anxiety level, and the complexity of the procedure. It is important for parents to discuss the options with the dentist to determine the best choice for their child.

Yes, IV sedation can be used during a cystoscopy to help patients feel more comfortable and relaxed during the procedure. It allows for a more tolerable experience, as cystoscopy can be uncomfortable for some individuals. The level of sedation varies based on the patient's needs and the physician's judgment. Always discuss sedation options with your healthcare provider prior to the procedure.
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.
The process of IV sedation helps put the patients in a calm state for surgical procedures. It takes effect very quickly and the patient may not remember the procedure afterwards but may still feel drowsy. Unlike general anaesthesia the patient will be awake and follow instructions.
