Twilight anesthesia, also known as twilight sedation, is an anesthetic technique that uses mild doses of drugs to block pain, reduce anxiety, and provide temporary memory loss. The patient is sedated but remains conscious in what’s commonly referred to as a “twilight state”. The goal of twilight anesthesia is to maintain a state of consciousness in the patient so that they are able to follow instructions and respond to questions or stimuli, while still experiencing a level of sedation and relaxation. The medication used in twilight anesthesia can be delivered intravenously or through inhalation, and the specific medication and method of delivery will depend on the type of procedure, the patient’s medical history, and the preference of the healthcare provider. Twilight anesthesia is used for various types of medical procedures and surgeries, including minor plastic surgeries, dental work, and procedures that do not require extensive operations or long durations. It is a popular choice among doctors and surgeons because it offers a limited recovery period after procedures and is usually associated with less nausea and vomiting than general anesthesia.
