The reason that we use this oral sedation
technique is because of its safety. The pill that we use is a common
sleeping pill. In 1996, for example, 1,700,000 of these pills were taken
by people, not on an annual basis, not on a monthly basis, but on a
daily basis. An average of 1.7 million of these sleeping pills was taken
daily. The 1996 total was 621,000,000 tablets taken. The vast majority
of these tablets were taken by patients at home to help them sleep at
night. We give our patients more than they would take at home but we use
state of the art hospital-type monitoring equipment to assess the
patient's pulse, oxygen saturation in the blood, and blood pressure.
