  • How soon after anesthesia can you drive?

    We do not recommend driving on the first day of having anesthesia, usually, people feel more energetic on the second day but use your own judgment to choose the safest recovery for yourself. Hopefully, this answers your question, feel well !! READ MORE

  • Can you be sedated for a CT scan?

    Hi there, CT scan is usually a rapid imaging modality. Still, yes, you could be sedated with a small dose of anxiolytic-like benzodiazepines if you have severe anxiety or claustrophobia and don't have any contraindication for sedation. Talk to the radiology team or your doctor who ordered the CT Scan to see if mild sedation; we call it conscious sedation is an option. In summary, is it possible? The answer is yes. Is it preferred and needed? The answer is no. Hopefully, you find this answer helpful; take care and stay safe, and Happy New Year. READ MORE

  • Do they give you general anesthesia to check your colon?

    Hi there, Usually not. They give deep sedation using an anesthetic medication, propofol, through the vein. The difference between deep sedation and general anesthesia is breathing. In deep sedation for a colonoscopy, the patient is completely out, but he still can breathe on his own, and no breathing tube is needed; on the other hand, the general anesthesia will require a breathing tube and mechanical ventilation. In summary, you don't need general anesthesia for colonoscopy, but you definitely need deep sedation because it's an uncomfortable procedure, and you should be completely out. Hopefully, you find this helpful; stay safe!! READ MORE
