Mycrofft, somewhat personal so you don't have to answer if you don't want but were both your cardioversions done with propofol?
We are only allowed to sedate for cardioversion, I've brought it up a few times about concurrent pain and sedation during cardioversion.
Yeah, I believe they were done with propofol. (Which my auto speller keeps changing to "proposal"). I was out and woke up in a recovery section. The colonoscopy was also done with it and they had trouble waking me up.
When we did colonoscopies (few) at the doc in a box I worked at in 1986-87, we used I.V. valium and hydrazine with ok effect; sedated and didn't care when they experienced discomfort…sort of like Demerol used to be ("Go on, cut off my other leg, what's for supper?").
