While oral and maxillofacial surgery such as orthognathic surgery, TMJ surgery is in progress, there always exists a risk of bleeding from maxillary artery, and this perplexes the surgeon in operation. In case of massive bleeding, it is mostly very difficult or even impossible to take an immediate action in order to stop bleeding. Even when hemostasis is possible by applying such methods as the use of local hemostatics, pressing, electrocoagulation or direct ligation, there is a high risk of secondary bleeding. Therefore, in case there is bleeding from maxillary artery, it is the best to restrain bleeding completely either by the ligation of the artery in bleeding in operation fields or by the ligation of the external carotid artery.

Changes of human pulse rates are influenced by psychological factor as well as systemic disease. Pulse rates tend to increase in the state of fear, pain, anxiety, and excitement. We performed this study for the evaluation of psychological state during the surgical extraction of mandibular impacted 3rd molar. Total 42 patients without systemic compromised condition were selected and pulse rates were checked with pulse oximeter(Nellcor, N-180) during the initial sitting state at dental unit chair, local anesthesia, draping and operation(5-minute interval). Male patients were 22, female 20. Age ranged from 13 to 57, with a mean of 26.9. Operative time(from incision to end of suture) ranged from 4 minutes to 32 minutes, with a mean of 11.1 minutes. The most significant elevation of pulse rates were observed during draping, the next at 10 minutes after incision(P< 0.05). Elevation of pulse rates during the anesthesia was not more than preoperative state and variable(P> 0.05).
