It depends on the length of time you have been sedated and the dose of sedation you have been given, but generally speaking, an hour to two hours.
That depends on the dose and the medications that were administered. Usually for outpatient procedures, short-acting sedatives are used, and patients are ready for discharge within 30-45 minutes.
Depends on the drugs used. Anywhere from 15 minutes to couple of hours
