Q

What are the goals of sedation for restorative treatment?

Sedation

A
  1. To protect the patient’s safety and welfare
  2. Modify behavior to allow safe completion of procedure
  3. To minimize physical discomfort and pain

Q

What are indications for sedation?

Sedation

A

Q

The AAPD recommends the SOAPME acronym in preparation for sedation procedures. Elaborate on this.

Sedation

A

S - Suction
O - Oxygen
A - Airway (bag valve mask, nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal airways, LMA, laryngoscope blades)
P - Pharmacy (all BLS drugs as well as antagonists)
M - Monitoring (pulse ox, end-tidal CO2 monitor, blood pressure, stethoscope)
E - Equipment, like defibrillator

Q

The patient presents for their sedation appointment. Consent forms have been completed. Describe your next steps that you need to assess prior to completing the procedure under sedation.

Sedation

A
  1. Verify that 2 adults are present with private transportation. Need name and relationship to patient
  2. Review medical history
  3. Review medical consult
  4. Ask if there has been any recent respiratory illness
  5. Verify NPO status
  6. Assess airway - Mallampati, Brodsky, auscultate lung sounds
  7. Take baseline vital signs (HR, BP, O2, RR, temperature)
  8. Record patient’s weight
  9. Record patient’s pre-sedation cooperation level

Q

What monitoring is required during and after deep sedation?

Sedation

A
  1. Independent observer trained in PALS, must be anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist or second OMFS
  2. Baseline vitals
  3. Vitals recorded every 5 mins (HR, BP, RR, O2), ECG and capnography required
  4. Behavior during sedation
  5. Dental procedure start time and end time

After:
* Time in recovery room
* Vital recorded every every 5 mins for deep then every 10 once child starts to wake
* Child has met discharge criteria
* Discharge time

Q

What monitoring is required during and after moderate sedation?

Sedation

A
  1. Observer is present to monitor patient but can also assist in interruptable tasks, should be trained in PALS
  2. Baseline vitals
  3. Vitals recorded every 10 mins (HR, BP, RR, O2, capnography/expired CO2 and ECG recommended); Precordial stethoscope is strongly recommended
  4. Behavior during sedation
  5. Dental procedure start time and end time

After:
* Time in recovery room
* Vital recorded every 10 mins for moderate sedation
* Child has met discharge criteria
* Discharge time

17
Q

What monitoring is required during and after deep sedation?

Sedation

A
  1. At least 2 indivudals must be present with the patient throughout the procedure; 1 of them must be an independent observer who, at minimum, must be trained in PALS, can get IV access, draw up + administer rescue medications and have advanced airway skills. This person MUST be either a physician or dental anesthesiologist, certified nurse anesthetist or second oral surgeron
18
Q

What are the discharge criteria for a patient after sedation?

Sedation

A
  1. Cardiovascular function and airway patency is stable
  2. Protective airway reflexes are intact
  3. Patient is easily arousable
  4. Patient can talk
  5. Patient can sit up unaided
  6. Pre-sedation responsiveness is achieved
  7. State of hydration is adequate

Another simplified tooth is that the patient can stay awake for at least 20 minutes in a quiet room

19
Q

How would you describe the difference between minimal, moderate, deep sedation and general anesthesia?

Sedation?

A

Minimal: Patient able to respond normally to verbal commands

Moderate: Patient able to respond purposefully to verbal commands or after light tactile stimulation

Deep: Drug-induced depression of consciousness to a state where patient is not easily arousable but can respond after repeated verbal or painful stimulation

General anesthesia: Patient does not respond to painful stimulation

20
Q

What are indications for use of nitrous oxide?

Behavior Management

A
  1. Fearful, anxious child
  2. Gag reflex
  3. Local anesthesia not sufficient, raise pain threshold
  4. Mild to moderate asthma
  5. Cooperative patient but procedure is anticipated to be a little longer
21
Q

What are contraindications for use of nitrous oxide?

Behavior Management

A
  1. Severe asthma
  2. COPD
  3. URI
  4. Cancer - Tx with bleomycin sulfate
  5. Untreated Vitamin B12 deficiency (vegans; B12 needed myelin and DNA synthesis but N2O has been linked to irreversible inactivation of B12)
  6. MTHFR deficiency
  7. Emotional disturbance
  8. 1st trimester of pregnancy
  9. Recent/Recurrent middle ear disturbance
  10. Glaucoma, recent (within 3 months) eye surgery
