4 Great Benefits of Intravenous Sedation (IV)

At Windy City Anesthesia, we know the importance of providing safe, non-narcotic, Office Based Anesthesia Services. That’s why we’ve been the experts and leaders in in-office anesthesia delivery for hospitals, surgery centers and physician offices for over 20 years.

Through our years of experience, we have found that Intravenous Sedation (IV) for Anesthesia Services is a great choice for in Office Procedures.

100% Customized Anesthesia.
IV Sedation allows us to customize to each patient’s needs. Because it is administered intravenously, it allows us to have better control over the degree of sedation delivered, ensuring that your patient is 100% safe, comfortable and relaxed during their procedure.

Conscious Sedation
Many outpatient procedures require conscious sedation, meaning that the patient is in a relaxed and semi-conscious state, without being totally unconscious, which allows them to hear and receive commands. Most patients have little to no recall of the procedure.

Fast-acting
Another great benefit of Intravenous Sedation is its fast action, unlike oral medications which can take a hour to take effect. The rapidity of its effect is due to the fact that when administered intravenously, it reaches the brain immediately, and there is no delay between the time of delivery and the feeling of, the patient being relaxed and stress-free.

Rapid recovery
This type of anesthesia, as well as being fast-acting, has also a fast-recovery, since once it stops being administered, the effects begin to disappear gradually without causing major side effects.

These are the main reasons why at Windy City Anesthesia we choose this type of sedation
