title: A practical method for oxygen administration during cosmetic facial surgery.
abstract: An effective and practical method of oxygen administration during cosmetic facial surgery under local anesthesia is described. A large volume of oxygen is delivered directly to the nasopharynx, and partial upper airway obstruction caused by the tongue falling into the pharynx is resolved, yet the apparatus does not interfere with execution of the operation.
