Mask case, maybe an iv...if they think they’ll do some stitches I’m more likely to place an iv

That depends, tongue or penis?
Thanks for the replies - this is for tongue.
WATCH YOUR 02 LEVELS!!!! Fire Risk!!!!
that's why you take the mask off and have it nowhere near child so there is no fuel source for a fire to get started
If you’ve got a mouth full of 100% O2, there may still be....
oxygen and a bovie together can't alone cause a fire. You need something else to ignite and burn such as a plastic ETT or mask or nasal cannula.
Mask. No IV.
Post op pain control is not usually too bad, so I might not do much for this. But if you want, you can do a tylenol suppository, or even a small amount of nasal fentanyl.
Due to the recent thread on an airway fire that severely burned a child, I would make extra precautions if there was going to be electrocautery involved, such as what others have suggested about moving the flammable material (mask) farther away when I lift it off. Now I might even have a blue towel doused in water in a little basin next to me.
