ABSTRACT

In modern dental practice, the use of sedation to eliminate the fear and anxiety of the patient has become frequent.

The article is devoted to a detailed comprehensive review of sedation in dental and surgical interventions in the maxillofacial area. It details the physiological and pathophysiological data of stress and psycho-emotional discomfort. The article indicates drugs for sedation, methods of their administration, features of application, possible complications. Such methods of parenteral sedation as intranasal, inhalation, intravenous are described in detail. Specific problems of sedation, for example, psychomotor agitation in the application of propofol or cough in deep sedation are indicated. It describes the modern data on intraoperative monitoring as an important component of patient safety during sedation. In addition to the Harvard standard the use of capnography and monitoring the depth of sedation by using bispectral index (BIS) is recommended.
