What is Twilight Anesthesia?

[Ellie]

Hello

Two alternate names for twilight anesthesia are IV sedation and conscious sedation. As the terms imply, a patient under twilight anesthesia is in a sedated state, but the patient may not be entirely asleep.Twilight anesthesia is a type of anesthetic technique in which the patient is sedated, but not unconscious. It is used for a variety of surgical procedures, and for an assortment of reasons. Just like regular anesthesia, twilight anesthesia is designed to make a patient feel more comfortable.
