Answers:
General anesthesia (surgical anesthesia) is a type of sedation where you are actually totally knocked out and your protective reflexes like swallowing and coughing do not function. Different kinds of sedation include: Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas)-used mainly for its anxiolytic effect (calms you down), Oral sedation- you receive a pill such as Halcion that has an anxiolytic and usually amnestic effect before the procedure begins, IV conscious sedation- an IV is placed, usually in your arm, and you receive drugs that calm you down.
