  • Are you fully sedated for a colonoscopy?

    It depends on where your colonoscopy is done. Many gastroenterologists use Versed/fentanyl which have relatively long half lives and care must be taken not to oversedate patients as this can cause respiratory failure. The down side to this is that as a result, patients are kept on the lighter side of sedation and therefore there is a greater tendency to wake up during the procedure. Many gastroenterologists are using Propofol sedation which is much quicker onset and shorter acting but has the disadvantage of needing an anesthesiologist to administer, thus making it more expensive. However because of its short acting nature, respiratory compromise is a much less common issue and patients rarely awaken during the procedure. You should talk to your gastroenterologist about his/her sedation practices to find out what they would use. READ MORE
