Response
check
gently shake and ask can you hear me?
no response -> shout
Airways
check
if blocked finger sweep and/or aspiration
gentle head tild and jaw thrust as long as no chance of neck or vertebral injury
breathing
check
ear to mouth and look at chest to see if rise and fall
10 seconds
circulation
check
assess 10 seconds by listening, feeling for air with cheek and looking for chest movement, while at same time feeling for carotid pulse
what to say to helper in CPR defib situation
phone for ambulance - inform cardiac arrest, exact location inc floor and contact number
fetch a defibrilator and bag-valve mask and oxygen
chest compressions with two hands, 5-6cm deep at 120bpm
2 breaths given from BVM with good seal after 30 compressions, repeat
defib - get help to do compressions whilst you set up
paeds BLS
SSSABCR
Safety
Stimuli response (don’t shake <2 year olds)
Shout for help (ambulance, bag-valve)
Airways (pinkie sweep)
Breathing (If not breathing, give 5 rescue breaths before continuing – no tilt chin lift)
Circulation (Brachial pulse in infants, if <60bpm then begin compressions
- Just above bottom of sternum with 2 thumbs to 1/3 of the A-P depth
- At a rate of 120bpm and a ratio of 15 compressions to 2 breaths)
Reassess after 1 minute
- With children a carotid pulse can be taken & the head tilt chin lift manoeuvre is OK*
- Compressions are done with 1 han*
paeds if choking
For an infant:
- Alternate between lying face down along arm downwards with head supported and give 5 sharp slaps to the back to encourage coughing
- Lying face up give 5 sharp upward facing compressions to the sternum.
For a Child:
- Lean over knee, support chest and give 5 sharp slaps to the back
- Alternate with 5 upwardly rotating abdominal thrusts.
angina
chest pain due to ischaemia (lack of blood flow; lack of O2) of the heart muscle
characterised by retrosternal chest pain or discomfort (tightness/heaviness) that may radiate to the arms, shoulders and neck
stable angina
chest pain/discomfort that often occurs with activity or stress and is relieved by rest
unstable angina
lack of blood flow and oxygen that may lead to a heart attack
refer to GMP or ambulance
Myocardial infarction
heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of you heart is blocked for a long enough time that part of the heart muscle is damaged or dies
differs from angina in that pain is more severe and persistent, not relieved by rest and can cause death of heart muscle
Tx for angina/MI in dental chair
stop tx and sit upright
oxygen 15L via non-rebreathing mask
GTN spray (if BP <70mmHs as if weak they may collapse)
Aspirin 300mg crushed/chewed
get urgent help if angina persists or if MI
how to tell if angine leads to MI
A airways Clear
B breathing - Tachypnoea (rapid, shallow)
C chest pain/Pulse inc/BP inc/ tachycardic
D Varies depending on extent
E anxiety/nausea/vomiting
7 emergency drugs
- Oxygen
- Salbutamol
- Midazolam
- Adrenaline
- GTN spray
- Aspirin
- Glucagon
Only Stunning Men Are Getting Actural Girls
Oxygen
emergency med
give 15L/min to anyone who is feeling unwell
Salbutamol
emergeny med
give two 100microgram actuations to anyone with a wheeze
In severe asthma case up to ten actuations should be delivered into a bag-valve-mask and given to the patient
Stridor may be caused by a foreign body in the airway – salbutamol should not be given.
Midazolam
emergency med
squirt 10mg into the buccal sulcus of person having repeated or prolonged seizures (epileptics who have changed their medication)
Adrenaline
emergency med
½ an ampule of 1:1000 parts adrenaline (0.5mg) should be given as an IM injection using the Z-plasty admin route disruption technique to someone with a life-threatening anaphylactic shock
- If the condition is worsening, the injection can be repeated in the other leg.
2 needles: First may be blunt from drawing liquids – painful injection
GTN spray
emegency med
Two actuations can be given sublingually to patients suffering from an acute stable angina attack
The condition should also resolve with rest and will normally present on exercise.
If the condition does not improve then they may be having an MI or unstable angina (see aspirin)
Aspirin
emergency med
300mg to be taken crushed or chewed by persons having a myocardial infarction
They should be referred immediately to hospital.
Glucagon
emergency med
1mg intramuscular injection to patients suffering a hypoglycaemic coma (Type 1 Diabetics)
Will reduce all glucose stores from the liver
As soon as conscious should be given sugar in a quickly absorbable form.
INR stands for
international normalised ratio
Warfarin
action
inhibits coagulation by vitamin K anatgonism (listed under coumarins)
INR extraction minimum
4
warafarin interactions
- Antibiotics (Metronidazole increase effect)
- Carbamazepine inhibits
- Don’t use NSAIDS (ibuprofen)
- Antiplatelet effect will increase Bleeding time (inc effects)
how to dx Sjorgens when pt presents with dry mouth?
- Dry eyes and mouth clinical exam
- Blood tests for Anti-La antibody first
- Also Anti-Ro and ANA
- Histopathology assessment of a labial secondary salivary gland biopsy
- Radionucleotide assessment into a salivary duct, Imaging.
complications of Sjorgens
- dry mouth
- burning mouth
- difficulty swallowing and speaking
- increased risk of oral infection and caries
- difficulty with denture retention
- long-term risk of salivary lymphoma
5As of smoking cessation
Ask

Assess
Assist
Arrange
Ask in smoking cessation
smoker? how many per day? when first cigarette of the day? how many years?
want to stop? interested in stopping? interested in help?
Advise in smoking cessation
aware of health benefits of quitting?
single most effective way of improving health status
past failures will improve chances this time round as not easy to do
lung cancer and heart disease, oral cancer, gum disease and stained teeth
Assess in smoking cessation
desire to stop smoking?
help must be offered
Assist in smoking cessation
negotiate a stop date
review previous failed attempts and anticipate problems, suggest enlisting family and friends
inform of NRT availability and NHS Stop Smoking Service
Arrange in Smoking cessation
arrange follow up
arrange NHS SSS referral (one to one or group), monitor, support and encourage at future dental appointments
reversible pulpitis
Mild inflammation to pulp: Caries, exposed dentine, defective restoration
Tooth may respond more than normal to certain stimuli such as heat and sweet.
- Stimuli tend to produce a sharp pain (A delta) that resolves within 5-10 secs after the stimuli removed.
Cause of inflammation (eg caries) is removed -> pulp-dentine complex will return to normal
irreversible pulpitis
(symptomatic or asymptomatic)
Dull aching pain lasts minutes or hours
- Worse at night or when lying down due to an increase in intra pulpal pressure
- Symptoms may be initiated by temperature changes
Min radiograph changes til advanced – If it is then PDL widening
Removal of the causal factor does not lead to pulpal regeneration
If left untreated will become necrotic.
Treatment: RCT/XLA
necorsis
blood supply non existent
Asymptomatic before it extends to Periodontium
- Negative to EPT & cold sensitivity
- TTP positive
- Radiographic PDL thickening & PA lucency

Avoid excessive exercise
Avoid smoking/drinking on day of extraction
Brush as normal
Advice on bleeding
- if bleeds bite on damp gauze 20 mins & bleeding should stop
- If bleeding doesn’t stop then contact GDH&S or hospital(A&E)
