PICC line placement as outpatient

Our daughter is supposed to start IV therapy at home, but we have always done them inpatient for a few days (or weeks) first. My question is...when you go in to get your PICC lines do the interventional radiologists put your child to sleep first? When they say "sedation" do they mean Versed or something where you are still awake? Is it a day surgery admission or what? We had a PICC placed once with minimal sedation (she was wide awake) and it was very traumatic for her.

Thanks for any feedback,
Michelle, mom to Victoria-- CF, g-tube, age 11
