According to a carefully devised procedure, such a patient gets an anesthetic injected into his veins, and a rubber hose is threaded down his windpipe so that he will not choke while asleep. His eardrums are pricked so that oxygen pressure will not perforate them. Monitoring devices, including a microphone that allows the anesthesiologist to listen to respiration, are attached to the body.
