Mechanisms of Sedation:

Neurotransmitter Regulation: Sedatives enhance GABA activity, calming the brain and reducing anxiety.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Inhaled sedative that eases nerves, reduces pain perception and maintains consciousness.

Oral Sedatives: Prescribed meds targeting GABA receptors, taken before the procedure to curb anxiety.

Intravenous (IV) Sedation: Administered intravenously for deep relaxation, perfectly managing anxiety levels.

General Anesthesia: For complex procedures, deep sedation or anesthesia erases awareness and memory.
