Sensory neurons in nerve system do not react acurately and quickly in sleep compared to in vigilance. ‘Midazolam’ used in Conscious Sedation puts you between sleep and vigilance stage to reduce the sensitivity of pain receptors. It makes you feel sleepy and drowsy, but you stay conscious enough to follow our directions. Although rare, if you are put in a deep sleep, ‘Flunil’ will be given to wake you up immediately. The chance of side effects and rejective reaction from Conscious Sedation is very low, however, blood pressure, pulse, ECG, and oxygen saturation level of a patient will be closely monitored during the procedure to guarantee the safety.

Patient Controlled analgesia (PCA) allows persons to manage the pain after the surgery on their own. You can control the amount of pain killer by simply pressing a release button on PCA whenever you feel the pain. A small dose of narcotic analgesic is released through your IV to ease your pain.
