Hello

I have acrylic nails. When I was scheduled for the surgery last year they told me that as long as the meter could read my heart rate I do not need to remove them. But she said it probably would be best to take them off. Anyone leave them on during surgery?

I would just take them off you worked so hard for this. And after just go get them redone

I kept mine, no problem.

I kept mine too. They are short, not long

Request an ear probe instead. It will clip to your ear lobe. I use one all of the time on babies and people with poor circulation. A standard finger probe can be used on a toe as well.

I kept mine. Not a problem at all.

Ask your surgeon. My hospital said no fake nails and no nail polish. I don't get acrylic nails anyway, my natural nails are strong and grow well. But I did remove polish.

My surgery is 1/17/17 as well. I have my pre admission testing on 12/19 so I guess I'll find out then if I have to get the acrylic soaked off my natural nails or not

My surgeon told me I had to remove one for the monitoring they place on your finger at surgery..I just removed them all and replaced them after surgery..
