Are you as anesthesiesed during a bronchoscopy like you are for a endoscopy?

Yes: During bronchoscopy you receive conscious sedation. You aren't out completely but are comfortable for the procedure similar to colonoscopy or upper GI endoscopy.

Yes: Yes, in general the level of sedation is similar for most routine flexible bronchoscopies. A deeper level of sedation may be required for rigid bronchoscopy or more complex procedures.
