Hello, I would like to ask whether monitoring, in other words monitoring of vital functions, is used in maxillofacial surgery (and also in dentistry in general) during a procedure under local anaesthesia... during wisdom-tooth extraction... I know the question is a little unusual, but still...

Dear Sir/Madam!

Monitoring of vital functions during local anaesthesia is of course present throughout, since we continuously observe the basic signs of life. No special equipment is needed for this type of monitoring. Instrument-based monitoring of vital functions (ECG, ventilator...) is used for procedures under general anaesthesia.

Have a nice day!
