A member asked:
What's the difference in anesthesia used for colonoscopy and that used in c section? if the patient was put to sleep for c section.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sedation vs.: anesthesia. A person is only sedated for colonoscopy and does not lose consciousness as is the case with anesthesia. Anesthesia can be used for colonoscopy, though it is not needed. C-section requires anesthesia and cannot be done by sedation alone.
