Airway Assessment: The airway evaluation revealed a Mallampati classification of II, with good neck mobility and adequate jaw opening. No anatomical concerns were identified. ASA Classification: The patient is classified as ASA II due to his controlled hypertension. Baseline Vital Signs: Pre-sedation vital signs were recorded as oxygen saturation 98%, heart rate 72 bpm, blood pressure 130/85 mmHg, respiratory rate 16 breaths per minute, and temperature 36.8°C. Consent and Pre-Operative Instructions: Consent Documentation: "Verbal and/or written consent was obtained from the patient and/or guardian prior to deep sedation.

Sedation Details: Sedation Start Time: 10:00 AM Sedative Agents and Dosages: Midazolam 5 mg IV was administered initially, followed by Propofol 100 mg IV for maintenance. The doses were titrated to achieve the desired level of sedation. Adjunct Medications: Fentanyl 50 mcg IV was used for analgesia, and ondansetron 4 mg IV was administered to prevent nausea. Airway Management Method: A nasal cannula was used to maintain airway patency. Oxygen Flow Rate: Oxygen was delivered at a flow rate of 3 L/min via nasal cannula. Monitoring During Sedation: Vital Signs Monitoring: Oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure were continuously monitored every 5 minutes. CO2 monitoring was also performed. Level of Consciousness and Response: The patient remained in a state of moderate sedation, responding to verbal commands and light tactile stimuli. No signs of over-sedation were observed. Adverse Events or Interventions: No adverse events occurred during the sedation period. Procedure Performed: Dental Procedure Description: The patient underwent multiple dental extractions and restorations under deep sedation.

No nausea or vomiting was reported, and the patient returned to baseline status within 30 minutes. Discharge Criteria Met: The patient met all clinical criteria for discharge, including stable vitals, airway patency, and appropriate orientation. Post-Operative Instructions Given: The patient was advised to rest for the remainder of the day, avoid driving, and follow a soft diet.
