Question
Greetings
Peace be upon you,
What level separates conscious sedation, deep sedation and general anaesthesia in terms clinical signs and vital parameters?
Answer
Conscious sedation means that you are sleepy but if aroused, you will respond. Deep sedation and general anesthesia are basically the same thing. If you cannot be aroused, you are under general anesthesia.
