The Sedation Itself

Two ways to get through it, both in the same theatre

Every option here is delivered in the day surgery with full monitoring. The difference is simply how deep you go, and which medical professional looks after you.

Fully Asleep

General Anaesthetic

A carefully controlled state of complete unconsciousness. You’re fully asleep before treatment begins and wake in recovery with it finished, unaware of the procedure in between.

  • You areFully asleep and unaware throughout
  • Cared for byFully Qualified Medical Anaesthetists, monitoring you continuously
  • SuitsSurgical work, long treatment lists, and anyone who’d simply rather not be there for it
  • AfterwardsWake in PACU recovery, home the same day with an escort

Deeply Relaxed

Conscious IV Sedation

A relaxed, dream-like state. You’re drowsy and deeply calm, still breathing on your own and able to follow simple instructions, and most people remember little of the procedure.

  • You areSleepy and deeply relaxed, not fully asleep
  • Cared for byFully Qualified Medical Anaesthetists
  • SuitsShorter procedures and patients who want calm without a full anaesthetic
  • AfterwardsA quicker recovery, home the same day with an escort
