Per ASA statement of "Position on Monitored Anesthesia Care", During monitored anesthesia care, the anesthesiologist provides or medically directs a number of specific services, including but not limited to:
1. Diagnosis and treatment of clinical problems that occur during the procedure
2. Support of vital functions
3. Administration of sedatives, analgesics, hypnotics, anesthetic agents or other medications as necessary for patient safety
4. Psychological support and physical comfort
5. Provision of other medical services as needed to complete the procedure safely.

There was no anesthetic agent administered.
Does this still qualify for MAC?

Thank you.
