Abortion Under Sedation

Having an abortion under sedation is a choice of anesthesia type.

For patient comfort, we do not favor local anesthesia — that is, the type of anesthesia in which the patient remains awake.

We know that patients already face psychological difficulty around the topic of abortion.

For this reason, we perform our procedures under sedation anesthesia so that our patients can have their abortion comfortably and painlessly, without feeling anything.

During a procedure performed under sedation anesthesia — that is, while asleep — an anesthesiologist is present in addition to your surgeon, specifically to put you to sleep.

Safely putting the patient to sleep is the anesthesiologist's responsibility.

You can call us for more information about painless abortion under sedation.
