AB As  an  anesthesia  practitioner,  you  were  in  a  developing  country  on  a  short-term,  2-week  mission  with  a  team  of  plastic  and  maxillofacial  surgeons.  The  team's  mandate  was  to  operate  on  patients  with  unrepaired  cleft  lips  and  palates.  As  word  spread  in  the  area  of  the  team's  successes,  on  the  final  day  of  the  mission  a  12-year-old  boy  was  brought  to  the  clinic.  One  year  before,  the  boy  had  sustained  significant  burns  to  his  lower  face,  neck,  and  chest.  No  surgical  remediation  had  been  undertaken  and  he  now  had  severe  burn  contractures  (Figure  56-1).
