IV SEDATION FOR BALLOON SINUPLASTY

How IV sedation can improve your balloon sinuplasty procedure

Balloon sinuplasty is already pain-free, but for those who get nervous during medical procedures, IV sedation can make you more comfortable and less anxious before, during, and after the procedure. During surgical procedures with IV sedation, patients experience what is known as “twilight sleep.” In this state, patients are “semi-awake,” can respond to questions, and can receive instructions. This is different to general anesthesia where patients experience unconsciousness during their procedures. Most importantly, patients experience a state of calmness throughout procedures performed using IV sedation.
