IUD Insertion Under Conscious Sedation: Patient Characteristics with Clinical Decisions.

Study Objective: Uptake of intrauterine devices (IUDs) in the adolescent population may be limited by anxiety and pain anticipated during the insertion procedure. Our institution offers conscious sedation for IUD insertion to mitigate this concern. The objective of this study was to identify characteristics and outcomes of teens choosing between two types of conscious sedation for insertion of a levonorgestrel IUD.
