Pain, Sedation and Anesthesia - Frequently Asked Questions Advanced IV Sedation Technique Advanced IV Sedation Technology allows for medication to produce a rapid onset action with the same effectiveness as much stronger narcotics without the risks. Rapid Recovery Time Within 3 to 10 minutes after administration there is no longer a residual effect from this advanced sedation because it does not linger in the body. Patient Transportation With this advanced sedation technique there is no need for a partner or escort to accompany you to the office for IV sedation unless you choose to do so. Complete Confidentiality There are times when patients do not want to discuss having an abortion with anyone. Most abortion providers that offer IV sedation do not use this new advanced sedation technique that allows the patients to drive themselves as the residual effects of the medications they use can last 4 to 12 hours or more. This is not the case with the medication that we use. Cost For the additional nominal fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00), we can provide the new advanced medication that will allow you to receive sedation and drive yourself home. Please call the facility nearest you to determine the days, times and location for this sedation availability.
