A member asked:

I'm having iv sedation and nitrous oxide for my wisdom teeth extraction, will i be awake and aware of all that's going on?

NO: Iv sedation with nitrous oxide will keep you unaware of the procedure, and you'll be unaware of the first hour or so of recovery, as well. Good luck.

Minimal: Everyone reacts differently to medications whether taken by mouth, inhaled, or by iv. Iv sedation and nitrous is a fairly common technique. Although you are receiving nitrous oxide and IV meds, the depth of sedation can vary depending on your metabolism as well as the concentration of nitrous administered and the amount of IV meds you receive. Most patients have very little recall.
