A nurse will provide you with a patient gown and plastic bag to store your clothes. The nurse will review your medical history and start an intravenous access (IV) for the medication that will be given during the procedure.
Before the procedure you will meet your physician and have the opportunity to speak to him/her before starting. The medication will then be given via the IV and the procedure performed.
After completion of the procedure the nurse will transport you to the Recovery Room where you will be required to stay a minimum of 30 minutes. Most patients are asleep during this transfer but waken easily within a few minutes.
When you arrive in the Recovery Room, your ride will be contacted. Your physician will review the findings with you before you are discharged.
