colonoscope

[soul-123]

Just wondering if anybody had deep sedation with this procedure and how was it thanks Sue. Just anxious about it all with Emphysema.

I had full colonoscopy,with no sedation.uncomfortable at times due to bad adhesions causing loops in bowels, sbut bearable

[jackdup]

yes I had a colonoscopy with deep sedation. Didn’t remember anything about it after I woke up and had no problems because of my COPD. The doctor should be able to advise you as they are familiar with the stage of your COPD.

Yep, was fine till the reached a kink of some sort then I woke up in discomfort but they quickly resolved that and I was back to sleep!

[Brikel]

yes I’ve had a colonoscopy

I would recommend to take as much anaesthesia that is offered

[O2Trees]

The sedation made it easy.

I had something where I was awake and watched on screen but made it comfortable. X

Hi, I have Bronch and I have had 3 colonoscopies with sedation which was topped up as the procedure progressed. It took twice the time it normally takes the first time because of all the polyps found. No problems and no pain which for me because I suffer with bad arthritis was a boon. Take care, you will be fine. Maximonkey

I have emphysema and had two gastroscopies early this year with out sedation, I chose not to have sedation as I didn’t have any one to accompany me home from the hospital which was a condition of sedation. It was uncomfortable but I said to my self this is only for a few minutes. I found the team in the endoscopy suite were very kind and supportive and helped put me at ease. Your emphysema shouldn’t be a problem at all

I had a gastro endoscopy last month and the medical team got an anesthesiologist come in to monitor me during the procedure since I have PF. Usually they have a nurse do this, but I appreciated going the extra step and bringing in an anesthesiologist. No problems. The doctor said I was an ASA3 for MAC sedation whatever that means.
