Summary
The main objective of this study is to determine the equivalency of oral conscious sedation
and intravenous conscious sedation for first trimester surgical abortion. We hypothesize that
oral conscious sedation will be equivalent to intravenous conscious sedation for pain
control. Additional objectives include describing subject satisfaction with each method of
pain control and characteristics of each method such as side effect profile, recovery room
time, and postoperative pain.
