Avoiding OverSedation

26% of patients became deeply sedated when moderate sedation was intended.2

Sedation is a continuum. During a procedure, a patient can slip into a deeper level of sedation than intended.3

Carefully monitoring patients is important to help ensure they do not become oversedated — and that complications are detected early.
