Sedação consciente em pessoas com deficiência: Revisão integrativa

Abstract

Introduction: With the growing recognition of the need for more inclusive and accessible dental procedures, conscious sedation emerges as a fundamental technique, particularly for patients with disabilities who may face unique challenges during dental treatment. Objective: To explore the efficacy and challenges of using conscious sedation in people with disabilities. Methodology: This is an integrative review that provides a comprehensive and systematic approach to analyzing the existing literature, addressing both experimental and non-experimental studies. Results: The efficacy of sedative agents such as dexmedetomidine, sevoflurane, and midazolam in improving the safety and tolerance of medical procedures, while also highlighting the need to customize treatment to respond to individual patient variables. Conclusion: The study emphasizes the importance of continuing research to improve sedation techniques, develop new sedative agents, and adapt practices that are culturally sensitive and accessible. Thus, conscious sedation not only alleviates discomfort during procedures but also promotes inclusion and accessibility, improving the quality of life for patients with disabilities.
