A Comparison of the Effect of Intravenous Sedation Versus General Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Minor Gynecologic Surgery

The use of deep sedation may improve the quality of recovery of patients undergoing minor
gynecologic procedures. These patients may also have shorter hospital stays and potentially
lower healthcare costs. Additionally, the use of deep sedation for second trimester pregnancy
termination may be associated with less bleeding, a smaller decrease in perioperative
hemoglobin and better quality of recovery.

- Pregnancy: 12-24 weeks gestational size
