How long does anesthesia last after an endoscopic?

The duration of anesthesia after an endoscopic procedure typically lasts a few hours, depending on the type of anesthesia used. For sedation, patients may feel drowsy for several hours post-procedure, while general anesthesia may take longer for full recovery. It's important for patients to have a responsible adult accompany them home, as their coordination and judgment may be affected. Always follow your healthcare provider's specific post-operative instructions regarding recovery time.
