1. sedation

   Sedation is a medically induced state that can reduce irritability, excitement, or agitation and allows patients to stay awake but feel relaxed and comfortable during surgical or medical procedures. It's also often used to alleviate pain or anxiety, and it can range from mild (just feeling relaxed) to deep (being unable to recall the procedure). The level of sedation required is typically determined by the nature of the procedure and the patient's specific needs.
