Abstract:
Intravenous sedation is a key component of oral and maxillofacial surgery, improving patient comfort and procedural tolerance. Safe administration depends on a structured pre-sedation evaluation that includes comprehensive medical history, airway assessment, ASA classification, BMI evaluation, and screening for obstructive sleep apnea. Systemic conditions such as diabetes, anemia, sickle cell disease, and adrenal insufficiency significantly influence sedation risk and require individualized management. Together, these criteria support effective risk stratification, guide sedation planning, and align with professional standards to optimize patient safety and outcomes.
