  2. Hospital Experience -Elements • Out patients clinics • Consulting – Teams • Education • General anesthesia

  3. ASA Classification • 1_ - no systemic disease, normal healthy patient • 2 - one mild systemic disease- ( cold, asthma, heart murmur) • 3 -severe systemic disease that limits activity but not incapacitating • 4 - incapacitating dss constant threat to life • 5- moribund patient- survival without treatment questionable

  4. General Anesthesia - Questions ??? • Kinds of individuals treated • Criteria • Process an individual goes through • Induction methods • Safety precautions • Common complications • Common post operative psychological complications

  5. General Anesthesia • Methods to reduce post-operative complications • Methods to decrease psychological effects

  6. Primary goal of sedation • Facilitate provision of quality care by diminishing anxiety and managing disruptive behavior • produce a positive attitude toward dental care

  7. If the only tool is a hammer • Then every problem is a nail

  8. General consideration • Nature of treatment challenge • Planned dental procedure duration invasivity technical @ equipment • Ability of care giver to provide post-operative care

  9. Sedation • Defn: - A controlled pharmacologically induced, minimally depressed level of consiousness • Patient retains ability to maintain a patent airway independantly and continually- intact reflexes • Responds to physical, or verbal stimulation

  15. RCDS Guidelines Undergrad education

  16. Some of the commonly used drugs in pediatrics • Nitrous oxide • antihistamines - hydroxazine - vistaril • anxiolytics - medazolam - valium - diazepam derivatives • sedative-hypnotics - chloral-hydrate • dissociatives - ketamine • narcotics - Demerol

  17. Routes of administration • Oral • Intra-nasal • Sublingual • Rectal • IM • IV

  18. Antihistamines • Adv.. - sedative, antihistaminic, antiemetic, anticholinergic - • Disad. - non-analgesic, non-amnesic, non- anxiolytic

  19. Atarax -Indications • Preschool and younger children • Timid highly anxious , high strung • Preventive medication • Extensive amount of treatment required

  20. Atarax- Contraindications • Previous history of hypersensitivity • glaucoma • Inability to obtain communication
