I am getting scheduled for a bronchoscopy. Am I put to sleep for this? Thank you.

Hi again, PK2018, and thanks for this excellent question. While others in the community may respond to your inquiry with their own personal experiences, I thought you might gain some additional insight from this article (by the Mayo Clinic), which focuses on the bronchoscopic procedure: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/bronchoscopy/about/pac-20384746.
I do hope you find it to be helpful.
Hi PK2018. I had the procedure done in 2017. They did put me to sleep for it, which I was unneededly apprehensive of. All went well with minor after effect of very little bleeding.
