Both IV sedation (twilight) and general anesthesia are used commonly for cosmetic or plastic surgery. Regardless of technique, the patient's vital signs must be monitored, which include but not limited to heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate.
Examples of types of surgery that can be done with MAC or IV Sedation/conscious sedation include: breast biopsy, Gynecologic procedures like LEEP/LOOP, D/C, D and C, D/E, D and E (dilatation and evacuation for spontaneous incomplete abortion or miscarriage), and colonoscopy or EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy).
