Patients in the OR always, ALWAYS get an IV. The only exception is if the procedure is done under local (a numbing shot just in the area of the surgery).
The drugs that put you to sleep are given in the IV. Sometimes, patients get a breathing tube and the drugs that keep them asleep are given through that. Sometimes, they don't get the breathing tube, and the anesthetist just continues to put the same medication in the IV.

A patient is prepped for surgery with pepcid, reglan, and versed. Versed is sedative inducing through iv. After patient goes to sleep, he/she is intubated (tube inserted to lungs during surgery). That is why many have a sore throat after surgery.

I.V. and it was wonderful, they put the medicine into the I.V. and asked me to tell them my childrens ages by the time I got to the second kid I was feeling terrific. It is a relaxation that you can only get with medicine.
