IntranAsal Sedation

What is Intranansal Sedation?

Intranasal sedation involves spraying a small amount of a sedative drug (Midazolam) into the nose. The sedative drug will make you feel relaxed during your treatment. Intranasal sedation is not the same as a general anaesthetic, which fully puts you to sleep so you do remain conscious during the procedure. It is a commonly used safe technique by experienced sedationists. 

Is Intranansal Sedation right for me?

Intranasal Sedation is reserved for those who cannot accept a cannula whilst awake.  It is most commonly applicable for those with Learning disabilities, Autism or profound needle phobia.

How long does it take to work?

Once the sedative is administered it will take approximately 5-7 minutes to take effect

Will I still need to have a cannula?

Yes, but this is only placed once you are sedated. It is necessary to always have a cannula placed during this technique as it allows us to top up the sedative or reverse the drugs if necessary. Don't worry the cannula is only inserted once you are sedated and you are unlikely to remember this aspect of your treatment. 

Who can have Intranasal sedation?

In compliance with current sedation guidelines in the UK, this technique is currently only available for adults ( age 16 years +)
