Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the hemodynamic and ventilatory changes in 102 patients undergoing dental implant surgery with intravenous conscious sedation, focusing on the impact of factors like anxiety, age, and gender.
- The monitoring of systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation occurred at five key points during the procedure, revealing that vital signs fluctuated but remained within normal ranges.
- Findings showed no significant link between vital sign changes and preoperative anxiety or gender; however, older patients exhibited higher blood pressure and lower oxygen saturation levels, indicating age-related differences in response to sedation.
Purpose: To study if patient preoperative anxiety is related to age and gender and to compare preoperative anxiety with postoperative patient and surgeon satisfaction in dental implant surgery under intravenous conscious sedation.
Materials And Methods: Dental implants were placed in 102 patients under local anesthesia and intravenous conscious sedation. The procedures were performed with or without dental extractions, and with or without bone regeneration.
