Said fentanyl on the receipt, but fuck if I know. Muscle relaxer and mind relaxer is what the doc said

The ones I observed with my attending physician were using twilight sedation with propofol, and I think they got small doses of fentanyl to manage discomfort/pain during and right after the procedure. The propofol lets them knock you out for a while without putting you under so much that they have to intubate. (That is anesthesia’s job though, so it might be recorded differently on your records)

Probably just different practices, I’m not in the us. I’ve had like 7 of them, and it’s just the nurses at the gastrolab who inject me with the funny juice, but it doesn’t knock me out. Might’ve been an anesthesiologist there to give a nod of approval, but I doubt it. Anywho, seems like you know more about the medicine part of it, so I defer to you Dr. Daddy

That sounds more like a waking sedation. Those will get used in American medicine if it’s just a sigmoidoscopy (the last bit of the rectum and colon), but for a full colonoscopy, they really prefer to conk you out a bit more than that.
