Intraoperative photographs of an 18-year-old male patient with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa showing (A) a clip-on oxygen saturation probe attached to the ear lobe and (B) a blood pressure cuff applied over a protective cotton pad to avoid skin damage during a full dental clearance under general anaesthesia. However, after completion of the surgery, there was evidence of (C) forehead skin sloughing due to the use of a face mask during intubation and (D) mucosa and skin sloughing of the lips and perioral tissues.
