Sedation refers to the process of administering medication to calm or induce sleep in a patient, typically before medical procedures or surgery. It can range from minimal sedation, where the patient is relaxed but awake, to deep sedation, where they are on the brink of unconsciousness. Sedatives can be given orally, intravenously, or through inhalation. The goal is to ensure patient comfort and reduce anxiety during medical interventions.
