Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel. This podcast is an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.We are talking about the anesthesia patient safety implications of non-surgical cosmetic enhancements including permanent jewelry, nail polish, and gel manicures.
