A colonoscopy with MAC (Monitored Anesthesia Care) is a procedure where a doctor examines the inner lining of the colon using a flexible camera while the patient is sedated but still conscious. MAC provides a level of sedation that allows for comfort and pain relief while enabling the patient to respond to verbal cues if necessary. This approach can help reduce anxiety and discomfort during the procedure, making it more tolerable for patients. Overall, it combines the diagnostic benefits of a colonoscopy with the advantages of sedation for a better patient experience.
