Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel. This podcast is an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.
We are talking about the anesthesia patient safety implications of non-surgical cosmetic enhancements including permanent jewelry, nail polish, and gel manicures. It is vital for anesthesia professionals to perform a complete and sensitive preoperative assessment, provide information about potential adverse events, and maintain vigilance during the perioperative period to keep patients safe. This is another area where anesthesia professionals can be advocates for anesthesia patient safety.
