TPAPN-Post EGD

Published

Hey everyone-I've been in TPAPN for 10 months now, and recently have been on medical hold due to some seizure/epilepsy issues. I had an EGD done a week ago and was curious as to if they would be able to detect any of the anesthetic from that in my urine if I have a test any time soon? I'm going to go ahead and submit all the paperwork verifying I had the procedure done and all, I'm just so worried about getting a negative test, even if I do have medical documentation regarding it all. Any advice?? Thanks!

I am in another state, but the way it generally works (check your TPAPN procedure) is to work with your case manager and turn in all the required paperwork. Most of the agents used in those procedures are ultra short acting, but follow your requirements and you will most likely be ok.
