Patients are given their choice of either general anesthesia (going completely to sleep) or light sedation. The choice most often centers around patient preference, though patient-specific factors such as a history of claustrophobia, obesity, sleep apnea, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, or any language barrier may make general anesthesia a safer choice for some.
