Colonoscopy is done under deep propofol sedation usually.
Usually it is done under sedation. But it can be done under general anesthesia as well
Yes, conscious sedation.
Most endoscopies or colonoscopies can be done with sedation anesthesia. More complex endoscopies may need general anesthesia.
Typically under heavy sedation or IV general anesthesia.
No, it's usually just IV deep sedation.
