2 PREVENTION! Attitude and environment Usually a clue in the history
3 PREVENTION! Attitude and environment Usually a clue in the history Airway protection
4 PREVENTION! Attitude and environment Usually a clue in the history Airway protection Drills roles, training, contact numbers
5 PREVENTION! Attitude and environment Usually a clue in the history Airway protection Drills roles, training, contact numbers Do not work alone
6 IN A DENTAL SETTING Particular issues could include access, patient movement, pre-existing conditions Potential for increased pressure from Potential for increased pressure from carers
7 THE ABCDE APPROACH A Airway B Breathing C Circulation D Disability E Exposure
8 AIRWAY Finger sweep Suction Head tilt/chin lift
9 AIRWAY Finger sweep Suction Head tilt/chin lift Jaw thrust- injury or flexion deformity
10 BREATHING Look, listen and feel
11 CIRCULATION Central pulse e.g. carotid for the competent/experienced practitioner
12 DISABILITY Neurological (conscious status) e.g. Post head injury/seizure- AVPU A lertness V ocal stimuli response P ain response U nresponsive
13 EXPOSURE For examination of rash/application of defibrillator paddles (AED)
14 AED
15 DRUGS FOR EMERGENCY DRUG BOX Adrenaline (Epinephrine) 1 in 1000
16 DRUGS FOR EMERGENCY DRUG BOX Adrenaline (Epinephrine) 1 in 1000 Aspirin (300mg)
17 DRUGS FOR EMERGENCY DRUG BOX Adrenaline (Epinephrine) 1 in 1000 Aspirin (300mg) Glucagon (1mg) (Glucose)
18 GLUCAGON KIT
19 DRUGS FOR EMERGENCY DRUG BOX Adrenaline (Epinephrine) 1 in 1000 Aspirin (300mg) Glucagon (1mg) (Glucose) GTN tabs/sprays
20 DRUGS FOR EMERGENCY DRUG BOX Adrenaline (Epinephrine) 1 in 1000 Aspirin (300mg) Glucagon (1mg) (Glucose) GTN tabs/sprays Oxygen
21 DRUGS FOR EMERGENCY DRUG BOX Adrenaline (Epinephrine) 1 in 1000 Aspirin (300mg) Glucagon (1mg) (Glucose) GTN tabs/sprays Oxygen Salbutamol inhaler
22 DRUGS FOR EMERGENCY DRUG BOX Adrenaline (Epinephrine) 1 in 1000 Aspirin (300mg) Glucagon (1mg) (Glucose) GTN tabs/sprays Oxygen Salbutamol inhaler Midazolam buccal liquid or Midazolam injection solution via buccal or nasal route (10mg)
23 POSSIBLE ROUTES OF DRUG ADMINISTRATION Oral Sublingual Subcutaneous Intramuscular Inhalation Rectal Intravenous
24 IN DENTISTRY Oral Sublingual Subcutaneous Intramuscular Inhalation Rectal! Intravenous only if experienced
25 COLLAPSE OF UNKNOWN CAUSE Lie patient flat, raise legs most recover
26 COLLAPSE OF UNKNOWN CAUSE Lie patient flat, raise legs most recover Maintain airway, give oxygen- ABCDE
27 COLLAPSE OF UNKNOWN CAUSE Lie patient flat, raise legs most recover Maintain airway, give oxygen- ABCDE Check breathing agonal gasps
28 COLLAPSE OF UNKNOWN CAUSE Lie patient flat, raise legs most recover Maintain airway, give oxygen- ABCDE Check breathing agonal gasps If not breathing/abnormal breathing (no pulse) = cardiac arrest No signs of life
29 COLLAPSE OF UNKNOWN CAUSE Lie patient flat, raise legs most recover Maintain airway, give oxygen- ABCDE Check breathing agonal gasps If not breathing/abnormal breathing (no pulse) = cardiac arrest No signs of life If normal breathing give sc/im glucagon 1mg
30 COLLAPSE OF UNKNOWN CAUSE Lie patient flat, raise legs most recover Maintain airway, give oxygen- ABCDE Check breathing - agonal gasps If not breathing/abnormal breathing (no pulse) = cardiac arrest No signs of life If normal breathing give sc/im glucagon 1mg Get help at an early stage
31 CARDIAC ARREST Main cause arrhythmia (VF) AED
32 REMEMBER RATIOS OF CPR No rescue breaths 30 compressions to 2 ventilations in adults Importance of early defibrillation
33
34 CPR IN PREGNANCY Left lateral position
35 SPECIFIC MEDICAL EMERGENCIES in Dentistry Uncommon most will only see a faint ABCDE approach to all situations
36 VASO-VAGAL SYNCOPE Commonest Lie flat, raise legs- ABCDE
37 ANAPHYLAXIS SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Paraesthesia, flushing, facial swelling
38 Should this patient be given adrenaline?
39 ANAPHYLAXIS SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Paraesthesia, flushing, facial swelling Generalised itching hands and feet
40 ANAPHYLAXIS SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Paraesthesia, flushing, facial swelling Generalised itching hands and feet Bronchospasm and laryngospasm (wheezing and breathing difficulty)
41 ANAPHYLAXIS SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Paraesthesia, flushing, facial swelling Generalised itching hands and feet Bronchospasm and laryngospasm (wheezing and breathing difficulty) Rapid weak pulse together with fall in blood pressure
42 ANAPHYLAXIS MANAGEMENT ABCDE
43 ANAPHYLAXIS MANAGEMENT ADRENALINE! (Epinephrine) 0.5ml (500 micrograms) 1 in 1000 solution IM repeated after 5 minutes if no clinical improvement
44 ADRENALINE (EPINEPHRINE) Alpha adrenergic action leads to vasoconstriction increasing myocardial and cerebral perfusion
45 ADRENALINE (EPINEPHRINE) Reverses peripheral vasodilatation and reduces oedema Beta receptor activity dilates the airway, increases the force of myocardial contraction
46 ADRENALINE (EPINEPHRINE) Reverses peripheral vasodilatation and reduces oedema Beta receptor activity dilates the airway, increases the force of myocardial contraction Beta activity suppresses histamine and leukotriene release
47 ADRENALINE (EPINEPHRINE) Adverse effects are extremely rare when appropriate doses are given intramuscularly
48 ANAPHYLAXIS MANAGEMENT ADRENALINE! (Epinephrine) 0.5ml (500 micrograms) 1 in 1000 solution IM repeated after 5 minutes if no clinical improvement Lie flat, maintain airway, supplemental oxygen
49 ANAPHYLAXIS - MANAGEMENT Adrenaline is indicated when there are signs of stridor, wheeze, respiratory distress or clinical signs of shock
50 ANAPHYLAXIS The wheezing can be helped by giving inhaled salbutamol
51 PANIC ATTACKS Sometimes mistaken for anaphylaxis ABCDE approach
52 PANIC ATTACKS Sometimes mistaken for anaphylaxis Anxiety driven
53 PANIC ATTACKS Signs and symptoms: Anxiety
54 PANIC ATTACKS Signs and symptoms: Anxiety Weak, dizzy, light-headed
55 PANIC ATTACKS Signs and symptoms: Anxiety Weak, dizzy, light-headed Paraesthesias
56 PANIC ATTACKS Signs and symptoms: Anxiety Weak, dizzy, light-headed Paraesthesias Palpitations
57 PANIC ATTACKS Signs and symptoms: Anxiety Weak, dizzy, light-headed Paraesthesias Palpitations Carpo-pedal spasms
58 PANIC ATTACKS Signs and symptoms: Anxiety Weak, dizzy, light-headed Paraesthesias Palpitations Carpo-pedal spasms An anxiety rash could be confused for the rash in anaphylaxis
59 MANAGEMENT Rebreathing exhaled air
60 MANAGEMENT Rebreathing exhaled air Worth having a paper bag handy!
61 ASTHMA Most attacks will respond to 2 puffs of the patients beta 2 adrenoceptor stimulant inhaler
62 ASTHMA Most attacks will respond to 2 puffs of the patients beta 2 adrenoceptor stimulant inhaler If no rapid response, repeat-and think ABCDE Most patients who struggle to breathe prefer to be in a sitting position- unless they lose consciousness
63 ASTHMA Most attacks will respond to 2 puffs of the patients beta 2 adrenoceptor stimulant inhaler If no rapid response, repeat Administer oxygen Repeat inhaler every 10 minutes
64 CHEST PAIN, ANGINA, MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION Diagnosis of the problem ABCDE supplemental oxygen Use the GTN spray Aspirin should be given (300mg) in MI
65 CHEST PAIN, ANGINA, MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION Diagnosis of the problem A,B,C supplemental oxygen Use the GTN spray Aspirin should be given (300mg) in MI Entonox is helpful
66 MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION If aspirin has been given, the hospital MUST BE INFORMED
67 EPILEPSY Medication should only be given if convulsive seizures are prolonged or last 5 minutes or more or are repeated last 5 minutes or more or are repeated rapidly
68 EPILEPSY 10mg buccal Midazolam ABCDE
69
70 EPILEPSY 10mg buccal Midazolam In children, rectal diazepam
71 HYPOGLYCAEMIA SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS Shaking/trembling

78 HYPOGLYCAEMIA SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS Shaking/trembling Sweating Pins and Needles in lips and tongue Hunger Slurring of speech Confusion Change of behaviour Unconsciousness- ABCDE
79
80 HYPOGLYCAEMIA - MANAGEMENT Glucagon 1mg IM/SC
81 HYPOGLYCAEMIA - MANAGEMENT Glucagon 1mg IM/SC Once regains consciousness, oral glucose
82 INHALED FOREIGN BODY Prevention!
83 INHALED FOREIGN BODY Prevention! Allow them to cough vigorously
84 INHALED FOREIGN BODY Ask Are you choking?!
85 CHOKING - MILD Patient answers YES! Victim is able to cough and breathe
86 CHOKING - SEVERE Unable to speak Unable to breathe Wheezy Attempts at coughing are silent Unconsciousness
87
88 ADRENAL CRISIS Signs and symptoms Loss of consciousness Rapid, weak or impalpable pulse Blood pressure falls rapidly
89 ADRENAL CRISIS - TREATMENT Lay patient flat and raise their legs
90 ADRENAL CRISIS - TREATMENT Lay patient flat and raise their legs Clear airway and administer oxygen- ABCDE
91 ADRENAL CRISIS - TREATMENT Lay patient flat and raise their legs Clear airway and administer oxygen
92 ADRENAL CRISIS TREATMENT 200mg Hydrocortisone I.V. I.V. fluids
93 ADRENAL CRISIS - TREATMENT Do not discharge!
