Over here it's either MAC anesthesia or versed with percoset. My father had one done back when he was just going into GI medicine. He wanted to know how it would feel with nothing. According to him. the answer is that it's not a lot of fun.Originally Posted by NorthernGlow
You get an anesthesia for those over there?! Man am I jealous! And traumatized for no reason...I didn't even get any sedatives.
I would have propably said something about not wanting to end up like Michael Jackson...
Who wooda thunk?
You guys need to get some better protocols in place. Without sedatives, you risk moving around during the procedure in pain and that could lead to the scope perforating your intestinal wall warranting a bowel resection operation. Having had that operation, I can tell you that you REALLY don't want it.
I'm amazed that no meds is standard there for a colonoscopy.
