Guest guest Posted November 24, 2000 Report Share Posted November 24, 2000 HI They put Mallory and to sleep. I think that is more comon with the littler kids. Our doc said that way they aren't squirming, etc (and, of course, we were thinking, that way they aren't traumatized, lol) Take care, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2000 Report Share Posted November 24, 2000 Liesbeth, I used to help the Doc I worked for to do bronchs, most of the kids did fairly well with what we gave them, at first they would fight it but then they would relax. After the procedure they parents did not report any side effects or mention the kids could remember what had happened. When Aimee had her Bronch she was at the Hospital and put under a general anesthesia, the doctor was expecting something worse with than the kids we did in the office. Aimee had them at 3mos, 6mos, and 1 year. Kathy momof Aimee 10years wCF, and wants to be a teenager! remember the best vitamin for friendship is B1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2000 Report Share Posted November 24, 2000 the drug is called Versed! We in the hospital refer to it as the " happy I do not care medicine " b/c it acts as a sedative med and works on ones short term memory. So, when you are given this you are put to sleep and do NOT remember the procedure at all! It is wonderful. Can be given by mouth or IV. Take care, peace, and blessings, mom to Dakota, age 8, no CF, and Maggie, age 3 with CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2000 Report Share Posted November 24, 2000 Emme had a bronchoscope and they gave her a drug, verset? It also works as an amnesiac so she remembered nothing. She tolerated the entire procedure well and our doctor was able to diagnose more reasons for her chronic wheezing. good luck kris Bronchoscopy >Dear all, > >We will be having a bronchoscopy with next week.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2000 Report Share Posted November 24, 2000 Liesbeth, My daughter, Eilish is 3 and has had 5-6 broncoscopies in her life. They did put her to sleep each time as they put her IV in at the same time. They just gave her gas, which she does cry for but for only 30 seconds. The only thing is the way they go under (crying) is the way they come out as they dont know time has passed. Then shes fine. Thats how they found psuedo. and then 4 weeks ago was her last bron. and no pseudo. Good Luck. Bronchoscopy > Dear all, > > We will be having a bronchoscopy with next week.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2000 Report Share Posted November 25, 2000 My son had an endoscopy when he was 2 and they put him all the way out. From what I hear, if they were to do it now (and they have recently considerd a bronchoscopy) they would just consciously sedeate him, which is as you describe, like he is drunk. Which is probably for the best because it's not a pleasant experience!

But when they gave it to him before getting his PICC line during the current hospitalization he had an adverse reaction, going into hallucinations and kicking and screaming etc. This is a reaction that happens in less than 1% of people though so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Still very frightening for my husband and the medical staff I'm sure. Needless to say, they ended up putting him to sleep.
