Best Answer

Midazolam, and other benzodiazepines, do not cause Stage III of anestesia, which is being knocked out. They do however cause heavy sedation and amnesia. What this means is, when usings these drugs a person does not fully get knocked out, typically added drugs do the final knockout (Propofol or Fentanyl). In that case a person could hear you. That is assuming however they haven't fallen asleep from the medication. Like anyother person who is asleep they probably won't hear you. Finally, even if the person heard you and responded with you (not unual after a short procedure), it is very likely that person won't even remember it from the amnesia.

How long does propofol show up in urine?

One to three days. Propofol, you'll be happy to hear, is not a controlled substance so they don't test for it - in very large part because very few people try getting high off it. It is VERY tricky to take propofol; it has what we drug fans call a "very narrow therapeutic index" - IOW the effective dose and the lethal dose are not that far apart.
