My experience is the same as that of Glenn & Catherine: anesthesia or sedative for surgery is usually given by IV. I can think of two exceptions to that rule:
a. Dental work: my dentist applies something like a Q-tip with lidocaine on it to my gum. When the area is deadened, then he injects whatever he's using as pain killer.
b. Laser 'touch up' (my ophthamologist's words) on my eye several years after cataract surgery: a technician dispensed numbing eye drops every 10-15 minutes for about 90 minutes prior to the event, which was about 20 seconds of having a laser 'zap' my eye. I was otherwise awake and alert during that procedure & that was the only 'anesthesia' given that day.
