The patient is receiving Nitrous Oxide Oxygen sedation during a procedure. You ask the patient if they are doing all right and get no response, but the patient seems to be breathing without any trouble. Is this a concern?
No. It's not a concern, as a patient who is unresponsive on Nitrous Oxide Oxygen is easier to work on than a patient who is responsive. It depends on what the operator deems appropriate. Not usually. As long as the patient is breathing, it is all right for the patient to sleep. Yes. A patient should never be in a state in which they cannot respond to simple commands.
