1. "Analgesia" means the diminution or
		  elimination of pain with full consciousness maintained by the
		  patient.
2. "Deep sedation" means a
		  drug-induced depression of consciousness during which patients cannot be easily
		  aroused but respond purposefully following repeated or painful stimulation.
		  Reflex withdrawal from a painful stimulus is not considered a purposeful
		  response. The ability to independently maintain ventilator function may be
		  impaired. Patients may require assistance in maintaining patients' airways.
		  Spontaneous ventilation may be inadequate. Cardiovascular function is usually
		  maintained.
3. "Enteral" means a
		  route of administration that includes any technique in which the agent is
		  absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract or oral mucosa.
4. "General anesthesia" means a drug-induced
		  loss of consciousness during which patients are not aroused, even by painful
		  stimulation. The ability to independently maintain ventilator functions is
		  often impaired. Patients often require assistance in maintaining patients'
		  airways; positive pressure ventilation may be required because of depressed
		  spontaneous ventilation or drug-induced depression of neuromuscular function.
		  Cardiovascular function may be impaired.
5. "Inhalation" means a route of
		  administration in which a gaseous or volatile agent is introduced into the
		  lungs and whose primary effect is due to absorption through the interface of
		  gas and blood.
6. "Local
		  anesthesia" means the elimination of sensation, especially pain, in one part of
		  the body by the topical application or regional as applies to dental, oral, or
		  maxillofacial injection of a drug.
7. "Minimal sedation" means a minimally
		  depressed level of consciousness, produced by a pharmacological method, that
		  retains the patient's ability to independently and continuously maintain an
		  airway and to respond appropriately to physical stimulation or verbal
		  command.
8. "Moderate sedation"
		  means a drug-induced depression of consciousness during which patients respond
		  purposefully to verbal commands, either alone or accompanied by light tactile
		  stimulation. No interventions are required to maintain a patient airway, and
		  spontaneous ventilation is adequate. Cardiovascular function is usually
		  maintained.
9. "Nitrous oxide
		  analgesia or sedation" means the administration by inhalation of a combination
		  of nitrous oxide and oxygen producing an altered level of consciousness that
		  retains the patient's ability to independently and continuously maintain an
		  airway and respond appropriately to physical stimulation or verbal
		  command.
10. "Parenteral" means a
		  route of administration in which the drug bypasses the gastrointestinal
		  tract.
