The 24 pages that link to Sedation, each with the reason it gives.

• BenzodiazepineRelated: Sedation is a common effect that can impair driving, coordination, and judgment.

• AnesthesiaCompared with: Sedation can resemble anesthesia but does not always provide immobility or complete unconsciousness.

• Mechanical ventilationRelated: Sedation may help patients tolerate an artificial airway, but can delay recovery and liberation.

• AntihistamineRelated: Sedation is a common effect of first-generation antihistamines that enter the brain.

• Local anesthesiaCompared with: Sedation can accompany local anesthesia, but it does not itself block sensation at the procedure site.

• Regional anesthesiaCompared with: Sedation changes awareness; a regional block changes sensation in a body region.

• AnxiolyticRelated: Sedation can impair driving and coordination, especially with central nervous system depressants.

• Inhalational anestheticCompared with: Sedation does not necessarily produce the unconsciousness intended in general anesthesia.

• Second-generation antihistamineRelated: Lower central nervous system exposure generally reduces this adverse effect.

• AnesthesiologyCompared with: Sedation is not identical to general anesthesia and may preserve some awareness and reflexes.

• AlprazolamRelated: Drowsiness and impaired coordination are common alprazolam effects.

• Chloral hydrateNarrower topic: Chloral hydrate was used to produce sedation before safer alternatives became standard.

• HydroxyzineRelated: Central nervous system effects make drowsiness a frequent consequence of hydroxyzine.

• PromethazineNarrower topic: Promethazine's central nervous system effects make sedation a frequent therapeutic effect and risk.

• ClonidineRelated: Drowsiness is a frequent clonidine effect and can interfere with daily activities.

• LoratadineRelated: Loratadine is less sedating than many older antihistamines, though drowsiness can still occur.

• ClonazepamRelated: Drowsiness and impaired coordination are common consequences of clonazepam’s central nervous system effects.

• QuetiapineRelated: Sedation is common with quetiapine and can affect daytime functioning and fall risk.

• AnestheticCompared with: Sedation can reduce awareness without providing the full effects of general anesthesia.

• MethyldopaRelated: Central nervous system effects make drowsiness a common limitation of methyldopa.

• NitrazepamRelated: Nitrazepam can cause next-day sedation because its effects may outlast sleep.

• BromazepamRelated: Sedation can accompany bromazepam’s anxiety-relieving action and impair daily activities.

• FlunitrazepamNarrower topic: Sedation is the broader clinical effect produced by flunitrazepam and related medicines.

• General anaesthesiaCompared with: Sedation can preserve some responsiveness, unlike the intended unconsciousness of general anaesthesia.
