Approximately 800,000 Dutch people refrain from going to the dentist because of fear. Behavioural therapy, a psychological approach to treating anxiety, is taught extensively at the various Dutch universities and is used in dental practice in the Netherlands. For medicinal treatment, dentists in the Netherlands use nitrous oxide sedation and orally administered benzodiazepines. For the intravenous administration of sedatives Dutch dentists are almost entirely dependent on an anaesthesiologist. Light intravenous sedation with midazolam can be used to make anxious patients more comfortable. Dutch dentists can apply light sedation with midazolam intravenously in adult patients themselves, subject to a wide range of conditions.

Introduction: Sedation practices for colonoscopy indeed vary widely around the globe. Due to a lack of data on intravenous paracetamol, we aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of intravenous paracetamol compared to intravenous fentanyl under propofol deep sedation for colonoscopy.
Methods: A total of 225 patients who underwent colonoscopy at Siriraj Hospital were randomly assigned to two groups.

Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, Montréal, QC, Canada; Université de Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada; Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital Research Center, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Background: Pharmacological sedation and analgesia are used to alleviate discomfort during awake medical procedures but can cause adverse effects like apnea and hypoxemia, increasing the need for airway management and prolonging recovery. Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a non-pharmacological intervention to reduce the need for procedural sedatives and analgesics.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, assessing the impact of VR immersion on intraprocedural sedation and analgesia usage in adults (≥ 18 years).
