How do surgeons constantly monitor patient vitals during rhinoplasty? Are the machines hooked onto the patient for the entire duration? Also For Patients undergoing their first rhinoplasty, how do doctors keep an eye out for any adverse impacts of anesthesia. What safety measures are in place incase of a bad reaction? And are there dreams while under anesthesia? I am someone who gets wild/scary dreams when in deep sleep/slumber especially on anxiety inducing days.

Answer: Ensuring safety during rhinoplasty At our surgery center, we have a board-certified anesthesiologist for every case, so our plastic surgeon can focus only on your rhinoplasty and getting you the best result. All of our patients undergo general anesthesia for their rhinoplasty. The patient is hooked up to blood pressure, pulse, EKG, and oxygen monitors, which provide continuous monitoring of the vital signs through the entire procedure and in the recovery room. The anesthesiologist is always present, monitoring your status and will react to any issues during the operation. As part of accreditation of the surgery center, we practice what to do in cases of local anesthesia toxicity, allergic reactions to drugs or anesthetics, amongst others.

Answer: How are patience monitored during rhinoplasty? How are patients monitored during rhinoplasty? during rhinoplasty a patient is connected to an electrocardiogram, a pulse oximeter, and a blood pressure monitor which gives constant continuous readings of the heart rhythm, heart rate, blood oxygenation, multiple other respiratory indicators, blood pressure and temperature. Anesthesia in mostly young generally healthy people such as those having rhinoplasty has proven to be extremely safe with a an extremely low incidence of complications. If a person were experiencing an allergic reaction or other adverse reaction to anesthesia this would be apparent in the vital signs and will show on the patience skin although during surgery much of the body is draped and not visible. If a reaction such as a drop in blood pressure were to occur this would show up immediately and can easily be remedied with the small pharmacy of drugs the anesthesiologist has available to himself in the operating room. Even the worst type of reactions such as anaphylaxis could be treated with Epinephrine. Anesthesiologists are also very familiar with reading and interpreting the electrocardiogram and the use of various cardiovascular agents to correct any rhythm disturbances. I frequently see patients who are most nervous about the anesthesia. What I tell them, half in jest, is that the incidence of anesthesia complications is extremely low but that the incidence of bad cosmetic results is much higher.
