A member asked:

I am getting a heart ablation. what happens if i need to use the restroom during the procedure? i am getting sedation so i would be aware of that and i am so nervous that i will be uncomfortable from bladder

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No worries: The doctors want their cardiac ablation patient completely out so that she won't feel a thing, won't move around, and won't recall anything. That means she goes into the heart cath lab, gets the medication, goes to sleep, wakes up 1 second later (it usually feels that way) and doesn't recall the procedure happening at all. No worries.
