Procedural sedation is another name for "conscious sedation". I hope that is really what you're getting, ask for lots of happy meds. If you feel any poking during the procedure, they will (or should) immediately administer more happy juice. The poking doesn't hurt, it's just pressure, but if you are sufficiently relaxed, you won't care. Whatever they give doesn't put me to sleep or erase memory, it might for you, it does for many. What it did for me was prevent any discomfort and left me enjoying the happiest day of my life.dlgoff said:The type of anesthesia they're going to use is called a "procedural sedation". As I understand it, you won't remember the procedure but will be able to respond to the doctor for changing body position and give feedback as to the discomfort at the time. I am waiting to hear back from them about some of my concerns.
