General anesthesia is rarely indicated. Most people who get a colonoscopy get monitored anesthesia care, which means that you will have intravenous medication’s, which makes you sleepy, but not feeling any discomfort
Normally, no. Conscious sedation
Usually MAC sedation. Similar to twilight sedation
