What is Analgosedation?

Analgosedation represents a medical technique applied during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures that provides the patient with a state of minimal sedation with analgesia. Simply put, it creates a bridge between wakefulness and sleep, allowing the patient reduction of awareness, anxiety, and pain during the procedure, while maintaining communication with medical staff

Who is Eligible for Analgesedation?

• Patients with pronounced fear of medical procedures
• Patients with heightened pain reflex
• Patients who struggle to cooperate during awake procedures due to physical or psychological limitations
• Patients undergoing prolonged or uncomfortable procedures (gastroscopy, colonoscopy, biopsies)

Advantages of Analgesedation:

• Reduction of anxiety and fear before the procedure
• Minimization of pain during the procedure
• Transitory state of consciousness allowing communication with medical staff when necessary
• Swift return to wakefulness after the procedure

Safety and Preparation

• Analgesedation is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced anesthesiologist in appropriate medical conditions.
• Before the procedure, a detailed patient history and examination are necessary to determine their suitability for the application and to choose the most appropriate medication regimen.
• The patient should be precisely informed about the nature of the procedure, the effects of analgesedation, and potential complications.

Therefore, analgesedation is not a journey into oblivion but a bridge to a more comfortable and painless diagnosis and therapy. It allows the patient to undergo medical procedures worry-free, reducing their stress and increasing comfort.
