Q

Dental management based on blood pressure

A

Pts with a BP 180/110 may receive any necessary dental tx; consider BP monitoring during tx for stage 2 HTN (140/90-180/110).
Pts with a BP >180/100 (severely uncontrolled HTN) should defer elective tx.

Q

Amlodipine (Norvasc), Nifedipin

A

Calcium Channel Blockers
1. gingival overgrowth
2. avoid macrolide abx (erythromycin, clarithromycin, not azithromycin) - can raise plasma levels of CCBs resulting in hypotension

Q

HTN-anesthesia

A
  1. Ensure profound LA
  2. Avoid excessive amounts of epi in pts who take nonselective beta blockers, which can cause a spike in BP and appears to be dose dependent
  3. limit to 2 carpules of 1:100K epi

Q

HTN-BP

A

For pts with starge 2 HTN (BP>140/90), periodic BP monitoring during tx may be advisable.

17
Q

HTN-capacity to tolerate care

A

Pts with HTN <180/110 may receive routine dental care.
BP>180/120 is HTN emergency.

18
Q

HTN-chair position

A
  1. Avoid rapid position changes d/t possibility of antihypertensive drug-associated orthostatic hypotension.
  2. After the procedure, allow pt to sit in upright for several mins before dismissing to avoid dizziness.
19
Q

HTN-drug

A

Avoid long-term (>2wks) use of NSAIDs because these agents may interfere with effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.

20
Q

HTN-emergencies

A

activate EMS, provide CPR, use AED, if needed
