			 anesthesia" means a state of unconsciousness intentionally produced by
			 anesthetic agents with absence of pain sensation over the entire body, in which
			 the patient's protective airway reflexes may be impaired and the patient may be
			 unable to maintain a patent natural airway. Sedation that progresses to the

			 patient is unable to maintain a patent natural airway is considered general
			 anesthesia.
(3) "Major conduction
			 anesthesia" means the administration of a drug or combination of drugs to
			 interrupt nerve impulses without loss of consciousness, such as epidural,
			 caudal, or spinal anesthesia, lumbar or brachial plexus blocks, and intravenous

			 blockade of small peripheral nerves, such as digital nerves.
(4) "Medispa" means a facility that offers a
			 range of services for the purpose of improving an individual's well-being or
			 appearance including medical and surgical procedures such as liposuction, laser
			 procedures, intense pulsed light, and injection of cosmetic filling agents and
			 neurotoxins in a nontraditional setting.
(5) "Minimal sedation" means a drug-induced
			 state during which the patient responds normally to verbal commands.
(6) "Moderate sedation/analgesia" means a
			 drug-induced depression of consciousness during which the patient responds
			 purposefully to verbal commands, either alone or accompanied by tactile
			 stimulation.
(7) "Office based
			 surgery" means any surgery or invasive medical procedure requiring sedation,
			 when performed in a location other than a hospital, hospital associated
			 surgical center, or an ambulatory surgical facility, including but not limited
			 to, physicians' offices and medispas.
(8) "Rescue" means an intervention by a
			 practitioner proficient in airway management and advanced life support to
			 correct adverse physiologic consequences of the deeper-than-intended level of
			 sedation and to return the patient to the originally intended level of
			 sedation.
(9) "Sedation" means
			 minimal sedation, moderate sedation/analgesia, deep sedation/analgesia, or
			 general anesthesia. This term shall not include local infiltration.
