For most routine screenings, a breathing tube is not required during a colonoscopy. The need for a breathing tube depends entirely on the type of anesthesia used, which is tailored to each patient's individual health profile.

Over 19 million colonoscopies are performed in the U.S. annually, making patient comfort a primary concern for medical staff. A very common question people have is: **Do they take your gown off during a colonoscopy?** Your privacy and dignity are of utmost importance throughout the entire process.
