It has to be cut and drilled out since it's so tight.<br /><br />The Dr. is advising conscious sedation with Versed and Brevital. I asked about doing it non-sedated and he said that it was close to a nerve and thought it would be safer to do it sedated since I won't move around as much.<br /><br /><br />My questions are, what are my alternatives to Versed. Can the Brevital be used by itself and does it have any of the side effects of Versed? Would using just Brevital require a higher dosage and risk going too deep in anesthesia and cause breathing problems?<br /><br />What about just using NO and opiates. Or how about an oral or IV valium. Would IV valium have the same effect as Versed?<br /><br />Looking for other options, surgery is tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.!<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157481373720211024noreply@blogger.com
