[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to have general anesthesia for an upcoming surgery and y’all have me scared now. “Severe respiratory depression”…yikes! But no, I wouldn’t be doing it for an IED removal. Perhaps “conscious sedation” is a better option, or anti-anxiety like Ativan for the procedure.[/quote] Yeah, this is all about relative risk. If you need the surgery, you need the sedation. For IUD removal I wouldn’t go to that unless other methods have been exhausted, primarily cognitive strategies from a therapist. It’s painful, but you know it’s coming and that it will be brief. She should be able to manage fear of that and endure the procedure. [/quote]
