Our doctors – obstetrician-gynecologists, anesthesiologists, and nurse anesthetist, are board-certified and are experienced in performing abortions. Time in the office is between 3-4 hours.
IV Sedation & Local Anesthesia (Local) for Termination includes:
If you choose IV sedation, you will be asleep during the procedure, having both the medical doctor and the anesthesiologist present. This means that you will not feel anything at all and have no awareness during the procedure. You will be breathing on your own while we monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. Before the doctor begins your procedure, the anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist will give you anesthesia by IV. The time that it will take you to fall asleep is less than one minute and the procedure takes typically less than 5-10 minutes. You will need to spend 45 minutes in the recovery room for observation, rest, and discharge instructions. Before you are allowed to leave the recovery room, our staff will confirm that your ride is in the lobby to drive you home. Under no circumstances will you be allowed to leave the facility if you do not have a ride home. You MUST have someone to pick you up, you may NOT drive yourself home. Before coming in to the clinic, you can NOT eat, drink, smoke, or chew anything 6 hours prior to your appointment. If you do not have an empty stomach on the day of your procedure, your appointment will be rescheduled.
If you choose local anesthesia, you will be fully awake during the abortion procedure. You will be given an Ibuprofen 800 mg tablet prior to the procedure. To begin the procedure, the doctor will put an instrument called a speculum into your vagina. The doctor will inject Lidocaine (a numbing agent) into and around your cervix area. The next step is to insert a round, smooth, dilation rod to gentle open your cervix. (The opening to the uterus) While the mediation may help ease some discomfort, you will still experience cramping and pressure during the procedure. With the local anesthesia, the pain tolerance may vary depending on the patient. Some patients feel mild discomfort while others can feel intense cramping and pain. You will need to spend 45 minutes in the recovery room for observation, rest, and discharge instructions. You are able to drive yourself with this procedure if need be.
