Reports of persistent unexplained paresthesia, dysesthesia, & allodynia
• Anxiolysis - only conscious sedation - Patient awake, responds to commands - Anxiety decreases• Conscious Sedation - Minimal depressed L.O.C. - Anxiety decreases - Maintain own airway - Respond to verbal & physical stimuli• Deep Sedation - Depressed LOC - Patient not responsive to verbal & physical stimuli - Need AW assistance
Benefits: •Acceptable
•Low Cost
• Safe
Drawbacks:
• Variable reaction
• Inability to titrate
• Prolonged D.O.A.
• Limited & variable effectiveness
GA: 18 hrs didactic; 20 documented patient cases; permit
Benefits
• Quick on & off
• Titrate
• Predictable
• Safe & inexpensive
Drawbacks
• Skill Set
• Increased liability
GA: 60 hrs didactic; 20 clinical cases; permit; equipment; site visit
• Joseph Priestly 1775• Will not General Anesthesia• Will mild pain relief
