Service description

Prior to undergoing a procedure with intravenous sedation, you should tell your doctor about allergies or medical conditions you have. • You should also inform the doctor about any medications you are taking and any prior surgeries you've had, including the type of anesthesia used. • You should also ask whether an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist will be administering anesthesia as their medical background and medical training is different. • You may need to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you to and from the facility for the procedure. • Follow any instructions provided to you prior to surgery, including restrictions on food and drink. • Avoid drinking alcohol the day before or the day of your procedure as it can affect anesthesia. • It's important to stop smoking before surgery to reduce the risk of slow healing after the procedure. • Following your surgery, you will be given a list of instructions to follow as well as symptoms that should alert you to call your doctor.
