What is mask induction?

Overview. Before surgery, we give your child medicine (general anesthesia) to fall asleep. When it’s given through a mask, it’s called inhalation induction. Your child will breathe in the medicine through the mask until they fall asleep. No needles are used while your child is awake.

What is the anesthesia mask used for?

Anesthesia face masks are rubber or silicone masks that cover both the mouth and nose of the patient. Face masks are used to deliver O2, N2O-O2, and/or other inhalation anesthetics before, during, and after the anesthetic procedure.

Can you get anesthesia through a mask?
