Guest guest Posted November 13, 2000 Report Share Posted November 13, 2000 : The anesthesia they use for egg retrieval is what they call " twilight " anesthesia. This means that you are not " out " or asleep at all, but under both local anesthetic and IV sedation that falls short of being " asleep " but also falls short of being fully alert or awake. I guess you might think of it as being halfway between asleep and awake - thus the term " twilight " . I was under this type of anesthesia during the lysis of my adhesions which was done in my RE;s office, so I would bet that this is the type of sedation that is planned for you as well.
