20 Treatment of Vasodepressor Syncope Simple Fainting Position the patient supine with feet elevated Assess Breathing LOOK, LISTEN, FEEL. Provide ventilation if needed. Administer Oxygen Definitive Management Aromatic Ammonia Inhaler Cold Towel TLC If delayed recovery, activate EMS
21 #2 Allergy 8.4%
22
23 Treatment of Allergy Skin Reaction Only Position Patient Comfortably Monitor Vital Signs Administer Antihistamines Benadryl 50mg IM Benadryl 50 mg by mouth 4 times per day
24 Additional Respiratory Symptoms Present Position the patient comfortably Monitor Vital Signs Administer Medications Bronchodilator, 2 puffs Benadryl 50mg IM Epinephrine 0.3 to 0.5 mg IM/SC Follow up with PO Benadryl
25 #3 Angina 8.3%
26 Signs and Symptoms of Angina Sudden onset of pain Squeezing or tight chest Pain that radiates to shoulders, face and arms. Women are more likely to complain of feeling poorly or upper back pain. Subsides with rest or Nitroglycerin (NTG)
27 Treatment of Angina Terminate Procedure Apply Oxygen Administer NTG q 3 to 5 minutes up to 3 doses Monitor HR and BP Modify dental treatment to prevent recurrence

31 #5, Seizure 5.2%
32 Seizure A sudden change in normal brain activity that causes abrupt changes in behavior and body function. Epilepsy is defined as recurrent seizure. N
33 Secondary Questions With Seizures What type of seizures? How often do they occur? What signals the onset of your seizure? Can you tell when a seizure is going to happen? How long does a seizure last? How are you after a seizure?
34 Types of Seizure Grand Mal Generalized muscle contractions followed by jerking movements of the arms and legs. Petit Mal Staring into space. Rapid eye blinking and altered awareness. Status Epilepticus A series of seizures without restoration of consciousness between seizures.
35 Possible Triggers of Seizures Emotional Stress Alcohol or Drug Use Flashing Lights Loud Music Hunger Fatigue
36 Treatment of Grand Mal Seizures Terminate Treatment Prevent Injury by Protecting Patient Loosen Tight or Restrictive Clothing Allow Seizure to End
37 Treatment of Grand Mal Seizures DO NOT try to restrain patient. DO NOT try to force anything into the patients mouth.
38 #6, Asthma 4.5%
39
40 Secondary Questions With Asthma How often do you have an asthma attack? What precipitates your asthma attack? When was your last asthma attack? What treatments do you use for your asthma? Are they effective? Have you been hospitalized or gone to the ER for your asthma? If so, when?
41 Signs and Symptoms of Asthma Difficulty Breathing Wheezing Tachycardia Anxiety
42 Treatment of Asthma Terminate the dental procedure Position the patient upright and comfortable Albuterol 2 puffs Epinephrine 0.3mg to 0.5mg IM/SC Discharge patient appropriately
43 #7, Hyperventilation 4.3% Anxiety causes hyperventilation. This in turn causes respiratory alkalosis, decreased cerebral perfusion and increased levels of catacholamines.
44 Treatment of Hyperventilation Remove Anxiety Causing Agent Position the patient upright Re-breathe with paper bag or into cupped hands. Sedative Medications Nitrous Oxide Sedatives Discharge Patient
45 #8, Epinephrine Reaction 3%
46 Local Anesthetic Overdose Excessive Dosage IV Administration Rapid Absorption at the Injection Site Slow Biotransformation or Excretion

48 Treatment of Epinephrine Overdose Supportive Therapy Administer Oxygen Monitor Vital Signs BLS as needed Recovery and/or discharge
49 #9 Hypoglycemia 2.9%
50 Hypoglycemia Normal Blood Sugar is between 80 and 140 mg/dl. Hypoglycemia occurs most often in patients with diabetes who can not regulate their blood sugar.
51 Diabetes occurs in 7% of the population. Type I Diabetic Decreased insulin production due to destruction of insulin producing cells in the pancreas Type II Diabetic Decreased sensitivity of insulin receptors on target sites of action. Therefore, decreased glucose uptake into cells, and decrease in glycogen synthesis in liver.
52 Complications of Diabetes Vascular System Atherosclerosis and Microangiopathy Kidneys Glomerulo and Nephrosclerosis Nervous System Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy. Eyes Retinopathy Mouth Periodontitis
53 Secondary Questions With Diabetes How long have you had diabetes, and what type of treatment are you taking to control it? How often do you monitor your glucose levels and what have the results been for the past few days? Glucose/HbA1c Levels? How often do you have hypoglycemic episodes?
54 Secondary Questions With Diabetes Can you feel when a hypoglycemic episode is about to occur? When one occurs what do you do to stop it? When did you last have something to eat?
55 Signs and Symptoms of Hypoglycemia Moist Pale Skin Confused Mental State Lethargic Seizures Normal Pulse and BP
56 Treatment of Hypoglycemia, The Conscious Patient Recognize hypoglycemia Administer BLS as needed Administer Oral Carbohydrate Unresponsive Patients Receive Parenteral Therapy 50% Glucose 25 to 50ml IV Glucogon 1mg IM Epinephrine 0.5mg SC or IM
57 Airway Obstruction
58 Signs and Symptoms of Airway Obstruction Weak ineffective cough High pitched crowing sounds on inhalation Use of accessory muscles to breath Ashen gray color of skin Cyanosis
59 Treatment of Airway Obstruction Conscious Person Confirm help is needed Heimlich until successful

81 Six Questions to Ask Any allergies? Any Medications? Any shortness of breath? Do you have or had chest pain? Hospitalizations in the last year? Any bleeding problems? Positive response to any of these should be investigated.

100 Assessment of Risk Physically tolerate stress of Tx? Psychologically tolerate stress? Is increased medical risk present? Treatment modifications required? Is psychosedation indicated? Referral or consultation?
101 The "Great" Implant Case
102
103 ASA Classification ASA I A patient without systemic disease. ASA II A patient with mild systemic disease. ASA III A patient with severe systemic disease. ASA IV A patient with incapacitating disease which is a constant threat to life. ASA V A patient not expected to live 24 hours.
104 Medical Consultation Goal: Determine the ability of the patient to withstand the stress of the dental treatment we are proposing for them.
105 Assessment of Risk The Quick Medical Consultation Talk with a nurse Ask for a Problem List Ask for Medication List Dental treatment planned Stability of medical conditions Modifications of dental Tx
