I get a treatment every ~6 weeks that’s a sub-anesthetic IV ketamine dose (0.85 mg/kg I believe) and in addition to being flat-out miraculous for my depression it’s always a really nice time.

Having a blood boy probably helps with the depression too.

As someone that woke up five minutes before they were finished: it's pretty uncomfortable (even with lingering anesthetic) since they pressurize your colon with compressed air (nitrogen?) and stick a steel rod up there.

Back in the day, they did not use anesthetic. Think everyone gets it now.

It is probably regional. My mom has had several here in BC Canada, and never once has sleepy time been an option. Which is cool, because if you are awake you can watch the screen and look at your own insides.

This is incorrect.

First off when you say general anesthesia, all you're referring to is the medication cocktail the patient gets pre-procedure. General anesthesia can be a wide variety of medication combinations, it's not one specific drug.

Propofol is a general anesthetic. Check your DDG, epocrates or even ask Dr. Google. It's therapeutic class is literally "general anesthetics." It's not an analgesic if that's what you meant, but it's entire purpose is the induction of general anesthesia - and it will 100% knock you out. I use it on rescue as part of our "facilitated intubation" protocols (RSI protocols are different), and I absolutely adore the looks from the ED nurses when they realize we carry propofol on our trucks.

The amount you give can alter what happens as well. If you want conscious sedation effects so you can reset a shoulder that's oof socket, for example, you'd give less because you don't want the patient totally unconscious. If you're inducing anesthesia for intubation, for example, you'd give a larger dose (maybe along with a paralytic, situation dependent) then continue propofol for your anesthesia.

The amount of drug given doesn't change it's drug class or indication for usage though.

Poop, that'll teach me not to look at MIMS before posting.

I had meant GA not analgesia, and I'd understood that it was the sedative that was given before the actual breathable anaesthetic to get the ball rolling, so to speak, but happy to be corrected, because I find all this fascinating.

It's why I'm partly considering theatre nursing once I graduate.

Why do they have to put you under for a colonoscopy, dont they just put gas and a camera up your rear end?

Normally they just use numbing gel. Americanly they put you under because America. The gut doesn't have any feeling so numbing the bumhole is enough.

e: Also gas??? They don't put gas in there what the heck?

They pump oxygen into your gut to inflate it slightly. Makes it easier to see things when your bowel isn't clinging to the camera lens.

It's actually CO2. They don't use oxygen because if you need to use electrosurgical equipment it'd ignite. Only downside is that you end up dissolving a bunch of CO2 in your blood which doesn't provide the refreshing carbonation you might expect. If you are having laparoscopic surgery in your body cavity, they blow you up like a balloon. This is the Mayo Clinic thread, right?
