2 I) GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS Medical Emergencies A) PREVENTION OF MEDICAL EMERGENCIES 1) Recognition of risk (a) Medical history: (1) Past medical history (2) Review of systems-questions regarding symptoms they may have (3) Medications (4) Past Hospitalizations (5) Allergies (b) Careful review of medical history provides (1) Disease processes that are present (2) Opportunity to ask questions to elucidate the stability of disease processes (3) Determine what impact the disease process has on dental treatment (4) Determine what impact the dental treatment may have on disease process 2) Vital Signs - Blood Pressure referral and treatment criteria National Heart Institute 2004 Blood Pressure Classification Systolic BP (mmhg) Diastolic BP (mmhg) Normal < 120 < 80 PreHypertension Hypertension Stage 1 Hypertension Stage > 160 > 100 Management of Patient Relative to Blood Pressure SBP DBP MRF* Dentist Guidelines Yes/No Routine Tx OK; Discuss HTN guidelines Yes/No Routine Tx OK; Refer for Medical Consult No Routine Tx OK; Refer for Medical Consult Yes Urgent Tx OK; Refer for Medical Consult No No Tx w/o consult; Refer prompt Med Consult Yes No dental Tx; Refer emergent Medical Consult > 210 > 120 Yes/No No dental Tx: Refer emergent Medical Consult *MRF = medical risk factors = prior MI, angina, high coronary disease risk, recurrent stroke prevention, kidney disease, ischemic heart disease 2
3 3) Quick Medical Consult (a) Fax note or talk with nurse (b) Ask for Problem List and Medication List (c) Determine if need to investigate stability of medical conditions? (d) Possibly consult with physician regarding modifications of dental treatment needed or special precautions that need to be taken? (e) To download Referral Section, Password: soms2323 (case sensitive), Clinical References, Medical Consult Short Form B) EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT 1) Primary emergency equipment (a) Oxygen delivery system E tank, bag-valve-mask, pocket mask (b) Suction & tonsil tip portable unit (c) Syringes with needles 3cc with 21 gauge (d) IV equipment tourniquet (e) Magill intubation forceps 2) Secondary emergency equipment (a) Artificial airways oropharyngeal, nasopharyngeal (b) Intubation equipment laryngoscope, endotracheal tubes (c) King LT Airway C) EMERGENCY DRUGS 1) Primary Emergency Drugs Category Antiallergy Histamine Blocker Vasodilator Bronchodilator Antihypoglycemic Oxygen Antiplatelet 2) Secondary Emergency Drugs Drug Epinephrine Benadryl Nitroglycerin Albuterol Insta-Glucose Portable Aspirin Southern Anesthesia & Surgical, Inc Preparation 1: mg/ml Spray (0.4mg/puff) Inhaler Tube 100% 81 mg Tablet Category Anticonvulsant Analgesic Vasopressor Antihypoglycemic Corticosteroid Antihypertensive Anticholinergic Drug Midazolam (Versed) Morphine Sulfate Methoxamine (Vasoxyl) 50% Dextrose Solu-Cortef Esmolol (Brevibloc) Atropine Preparation 5mg/ml 10mg/ml 10mg/ml 50mg/ml 50mg/ml 100mg/ml 0.5mg/ml 3
4 II)EpiPen Instructions A) Form a fist around EpiPen and pull off grey cap (do not twist). Before pulling off the grey cap you should check that your thumb is closest to the grey cap end, and not over the end of the EpiPen, as in the picture. This will help prevent you from placing your thumb over the black 'active' end. B) Place black tip against outer mid-thigh of the child. (Note; there is no need to 'swing and jab'). C) Push HARD against thigh until a click is heard or felt and hold in place for 10 seconds. Do not put thumb over end of the EpiPen D) Remove the EpiPen and then call an ambulance. The EpiPen can only be used once. If you have administered epinephrine to a patient for any reason, call 911 as patient usually needs to be evaluated in emergency room. 4
5 III) IV) Patient Assessment 1) Position 2) Circulation check pulse, chest compressions if needed 3) Airway opening head tilt, chin lift 4) Breathing artificial breathing if needed 5) Definitive management 6) Activate Emergency Medical System (EMS) early in treatment protocol UNCONSCIOUSNESS A) Mechanisms of unconsciousness 1) Inadequate blood flow to brain 2) Inadequate oxygen flow to brain 3) Metabolic deficiencies 4) Disorders of the nervous system 5) Psychic mechanisms B) Basic unconsciousness treatment Differential Diagnosis: Syncope Drug ingestions Orthostatic hypotension Seizure disorders Hypoglycemic rxn Stroke (CVA) Recognition of Unconsciousness Position patient supine, feet elevated Assess Circulation (Carotid pulse) Artificial circulation if needed Assess Breathing (Look, Listen, Feel) Artificial ventilation if needed Activate EMS if delayed recovery Definitive management of cause 5
