Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Minimal Sedation:Patients can respond to verbal commands,although cognitive function may be impaired.Ventilatory and cardiovascular functions are unaffected. Moderate Sedation (Conscious Sedation):The patient can perform purposeful response following repeated or painful stimulation.Spontaneous ventilation is adequate,and cardiovascular function is usually maintained. Deep Sedation:The patient is not easily aroused but can respond to painful stimulation.Spontaneous ventilation and maintenance of patient airway may be inadequate.Cardiovascular function is usually maintained. Anesthesia:This level involves general anesthesia,spinal,or major regional anesthesia; local anesthesia is not included.Patient cannot be aroused,even by painful stimulation.Ventilatory assistance is typically required (i.e.,artificial airway and positive-pressure ventilation).Cardiovascular function may be impaired.
