Nose Re-Surgery

When having nose surgery under sedation, do you breathe through your nose or your mouth...?

As I get older, sedation has become scary. I heard sedation usually isn’t done by a specialist, and if the doctor prescribes it, a nurse administers it. I’m thinking about having surgery at ㅅㅅㅇ, but when I looked at the ㅅㅅㅇ blog, the photos taken during surgery showed sterilized gauze placed over the mouth. Then how do you breathe? The nose is opened up, so do you breathe through the nose? Blood could go down through the nose too, but if the mouth is covered, how do you breathe? They say a side effect of sedation is respiratory depression, so I’m scared Even when I look at the ㅅㅅㅇ website, it doesn’t say whether CCTV is installed Of course it should be there…
