That's why all masks come with those four little plastic prongs off the front, to give us that option. That said, it really very rarely comes up--usually I'll just hold it or just secure an airway by other means (intubation or what have you). Depends on what kind of operation you're having too--for shorter cases (example: ear tubes) it's a more likely choice to just "mask a patient down" rather than to go whole hog and insert an artificial airway.<br /><br />Hope your surgery went well!Michelle Auhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04938937923678734252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779260.post-26912920081168609612012-05-20T20:14:07.763-04:002012-05-20T20:14:07.763-04:00Hi Michelle, I've been a reader of your blog f...Hi Michelle, I've been a reader of your blog for years and years (since you were in medical school probably). Anyway, I had my first ever day surgery last week and I have no one else to pose this weird question to but you since you're an anesthesiologist.<br /><br />After I got my IV, the anesthesiologist put a clear mask on me, and then proceeded to strap the mask to my face with these black rubber straps. I have never ever seen this thing in regular movies before!! This black strap looked some like funky contrapment piece from some vintage medical fetish collection or something. Is there such a thing? Or was I high on drugs and imagining it because my was my last memory before the recovery room. If that was a real thing, what is it used for? Thanks a bunch :)Annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779260.post-63098285316019187502012-05-19T21:00:07.377-04:002012-05-19T21:00:07.377-04:00Your pictures are so beautiful!

I couldn't explain it if I tried. I think that all of North Georgia took a nap on Sunday.
