Study Notes
Sedation in Anesthesia
- Sedation aims to reduce anxiety and pain in patients
- Provides amnesia for the post-operative period
- Prevents parasympathomimetic effects of anesthesia, including: • Bradycardia (slow heart rate) • Increased salivation • Excessive bronchial secretions • Coughing • Vomiting
- Reduces involuntary muscle contractions
