Treatment for nervous patients

We have the knowledge and facilities to treat nervous patients using intravenous sedation. This is a specialist technique that uses a sedative to relax the patient, making the treatment more pleasant and easier to carry out.

 

The sedative is a drug called Midazolam, which is administered by injection into the arm or hand. Once administered, it takes three to five minutes to be fully effective. Patients are not unconscious, as with a general anaesthetic, but remain conscious throughout the procedure, which makes it much safer. However, the patient is relaxed and unconcerned about the treatment. The drug also affects short-term memory, and patients generally cannot remember much about the experience.

Aftercare Instructions for Sedation

  • The effects of sedation drugs wear off fairly quickly, but traces may remain in the body for up to 8 hours.
  • A responsible adult escort is required to take the patient home by car or taxi (not public transport).
  • The escort must stay with the patient until all effects of the drugs have worn off.
  • Sedation cannot be provided without an escort present.
  • After sedation, the patient must not drive, operate machinery, or sign important documents until fully recovered.
  • Intravenous sedation is suitable for most patients, but it may not be appropriate for those with certain medical conditions or taking specific medications.
  • Sedation is not suitable for:
    – Patients under 16 years of age.
    – The elderly.
    – Patients with mental health problems.
