Addressing Anxiety in Medical Procedures

It is natural to feel anxious about medical procedures, even minor ones performed in the office. This anxiety can heighten sensitivity to discomfort and make the experience difficult. Our goal is to eliminate this stress entirely.

The Limitations of Traditional Sedation

  • Delayed Recovery: Traditional oral sedatives can take hours to wear off, requiring someone else to drive you home.
  • Less Control: These sedatives often provide inconsistent anxiety relief, sometimes leaving patients feeling groggy or overly sedated.
  • Increased Logistics: Managing recovery from heavier sedation adds complexity and expense to a simple office visit.

The Need for Immediate, Controllable Comfort

For procedures like cystoscopy, prostate biopsies, or minor interventions, patients need a solution that offers immediate, controllable relief that can be reversed just as quickly. Nitrouseal® meets this exact need.

How it Works

Nitrouseal®: Controllable, On-Demand Anxiety Relief

Nitrouseal® is a patient-administered system that delivers a mix of oxygen and nitrous oxide gas, which the patient breathes through a mask. This creates a state of profound relaxation and calm without causing loss of consciousness.

Key Benefits of Nitrous Oxide Sedation

  • Patient-Controlled: The patient controls the mask, ensuring they receive the exact amount of relaxation needed for comfort.
  • Rapid Onset and Reversal: Relaxation takes effect in just minutes, and the effects wear off almost immediately once pure oxygen is administered.
  • Enhanced Safety: This approach avoids the complex logistics and risks associated with heavier intravenous (IV) sedation.

Procedures Enhanced by Nitrouseal®

We utilize the Nitrouseal® system to ensure comfort during a wide range of common in-office urological procedures, including prostate biopsies, vasectomies, cystoscopies, and UroLift treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nitroseal Sedation

Nitroseal® Sedation Common Questions & Answers

1What does the Nitrouseal® gas feel like?
Patients typically describe feeling a sense of relaxation, lightheadedness, and pleasant detachment. You remain fully conscious and able to communicate with your doctor throughout the procedure.
2Can I drive myself home after using Nitrouseal®?
Yes, in most cases, you can drive yourself home. Once the flow of nitrous oxide is stopped, the effects wear off within minutes, and you are monitored until you are completely alert and clear-headed.
3Is Nitrouseal® safe?
Yes, nitrous oxide is widely used, safe, and quickly reversible. It is administered with oxygen, and the process is monitored by our trained staff to ensure your safety and comfort at all times.
4Is Nitrouseal® included in the cost of my procedure?
Nitrouseal® is typically billed separately from the main procedure. We recommend checking with your insurance provider, although many sedation methods for in-office procedures may have a specific co-pay.
5How is Nitrouseal® different from being put "to sleep"?
Nitrouseal® is a mild conscious sedation that relieves anxiety and pain perception, but you remain awake and responsive. Being "put to sleep" involves general anesthesia, which requires deeper sedation and respiratory assistance.
