Summary
Interstitial cystitis is a condition where a defect in the protective lining of the bladder
causes the urinary symptoms such as urgency, frequency and pain/burning on urination. One way
to help ease the symptoms of this disease is to fill the bladder full of water every 4 to 6
months.
Since this is a painful procedure an anesthesiologist will give you a drug that will make you
unconscious for the procedure. General anesthesia can be given to you through an IV tube that
is placed in a vein in your arm. There are only a few agents that induce sedation and these
agents have certain disadvantages such as waking up slowly, low blood pressure, and pain at
the injection site and a prolonged time to consciousness.
This study will be comparing doses of a new IV sedation induction agent drug to put you to
sleep called fospropofol (Lusedra®).
