Monitoring: They will need to monitor your oxygen level during the procedure. They usually do this by placing a device on one of your fingers. Nail polish will interfere with the reading.

Oxygen: You will be asleep and they will put a sensor on your finger to monitor your oxygen lever--that way they can be sure you'll wake up. You.
