Heart Rhythm
Posted by Anonymous on September 4, 2009 at 8:09 am
In our facility the patients are admitted following the procedure. This is done so that we can observe and monitor them following the procedure.
Our patients can receive either moderate sedation or general anesthesia for the procedures and this is based on the physicians' knowledge of the patient. If anesthesia is present they monitor the sedation, but generally the patient is mildly sedated with additional sedation given during the ablation part of the study.
