Advanced sedation in oral surgery as an alternative to General Anaesthetic; a service evaluation

ConclusionsThe use of an advanced sedation service has demonstrated successful outcomes and reduced reliance on theatre resources. The use of polypharmacy; midazolam and propofol, provides a safe, effective and efficient modality to perform complex procedures in an outpatient hospital setting. Advanced sedation techniques can be particularly effective in the management of complex procedures, dental anxiety and in adolescent and medically complex patients. Patient engagement supports the service as an effective option for delivering quality care.
