A growing number of parents are discovering the many benefits of IV sedation in their dental office. When children need multiple dental procedures, or are afraid of going to the dentist, can’t sit still for very long, have a gag reflex, special needs or disabilities, IV sedation can ease all the stress and pain.

Why do you need a CRNA?
Some dental offices allow a staff member or the dentist to perform the IV sedation. This mean either their attention is either compromised, focusing on the procedure instead of the sedation or proper training may not be established.
“Sedation is a continuum that includes minimal sedation to general anesthesia. Each patient has a unique response to medications utilized for sedation and anesthesia. Therefore, moderate sedation may quickly transition to deep sedation and general anesthesia, affecting spontaneous ventilation and oxygenation requiring immediate intervention. When an anesthesia professional is available to continuously monitor the patient, he or she can focus on changes in the patient’s condition and intervene as necessary in emergent situations.”
