Mask, clip/clip with scissors. MAYBE a buzz with the bovie. Because of this, WATCH YOUR 02 LEVELS!!!! Fire Risk!!!!

Otherwise, not much to it...
 
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.
