Deep sedation
Pronunciation
A level of sedation in which a person is in a deep sleep, loses feeling, and is hard to wake up.

Oxygen may also be given to help the patient breathe and drugs that relieve pain may be given at the same time. The patient usually does not remember the procedure. (NCI Dictionary)
