Lecture 6 Flashcards
Anesthesia
What does continual mean?
Repeated regularly and frequently in steady succession
What does continuous mean?
prolonged without and interruption at any time
What does time oriented anesthesia record mean?
documentation at appropriate time intervals of drugs, doses, and physiologic data obtained during patient monitoring
What does immediately available mean?
On site in the facility and ready for immediate use
What are the types of unconscious anesthesia techniques?
general anesthesia, inhalation general anesthesia
What are the types of conscious anesthesia techniques?
iatrosedation, hypnosis, local anesthesia, oral/rectal, nitrous oxide, intramuscular/intranasal, IV
Definition of pain
unpleasant sensory or emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage
Definition of analgesia
absence of pain in response to a stimulus that is normally painful
definition of anesthesia
absence of sensory modalities
definition of nociception
neural process of encoding noxious stimuli
definition of paresthesia
abnormal sensation, whether spontaneous or evoked
What is ASA I?
Healthy patient
ASA II
Mild systemic disease, patient in use of drugs
ASA III
Severe systemic disease with definite functional limitation, not incapacitating controlled by drugs
ASA IV
Severe systemic disease, with constant threat to life, incapacitatin
ASA V
moribund patient, unlikely to survive 24 hours
What are relevant tests for people taking anti-coagulants?
INR, bleeding time, PT/ aPTT, Platelet count
What is oxygenation
amount of oxygen contained in blood by hemoglobin, expressed in percentage as “Sp02”, measured by pulse oximetry and observation
What is ventilation
active exchange of inhaled and exhaled gases through respiration
What is circulation
cardiac output measured in both blood pressure and heart rate
What is minimal sedation
minimally depressed level of consciousness, produced by pharmacological method, that retains the patient’s ability to maintain an airway and respond normally to tactile and verbal command. ventilatory and cardiovascular functions are unaffected
what is moderate sedation?
when the patients respond purposefully to verbal commands, with light tactile stimulation, no interventions are required to maintain the patient airway, and spontaneous ventilation is adequate
what is deep sedation?
a drug induced depression of consciousness during which patients cannot be easily aroused by respond purposefully following repeated or painful stimulation. Independent ventilatory function may be impaired and patients may need assistance in maintaining a patent airway, and spontaneous ventilation may be inadequate
What is general anesthesia?
drug induced loss of consciousness during which the patient is not arousable, even by painful stimulation and ability to have independent ventilation is impaired. positive pressure ventilation may be required.
What team is needed to perform minimal sedation?
dentist and assitant
What team is needed for moderate sedation
permitted dentist (dentist wtih moderate sedation permit) and dental assistant who can assist in emergency
What team is needed for deep sedation/GA?
Operating dentist, dedicated anesthesia provider for peds, GA trained dentist and 2 assistants for adults
define enteral
any route in which the agent is absorbed through the GI, first pass hepatic metabolism before affects are felt, seen, or measured
define parenteral (par-around) (enteral-GI system)
any route in which the agent bypasses the GI system, agent enters blood stream directly
what is considered a minor patient
13 years or younger
Do you need a different requirement for GA if you are working on a patient that is younger that 13 years old?
yes
What does a moderate sedation permit require?
precordial stethoscope, capnography, needs two additional support personnel other than operating dentist, operating dentist and one support personnel must have PALs certification
What is the training for pediatric minimal sedation?
- 24 hours of pediatric minimal sedation instruction in addition to one clinical case
- completion of CODA approved residency in pediatric dentistry
What is the pediatric minimal sedation agent limit?
dentist shall be limited to administering a single drug whose primary purpose is sedative via the oral route, and not exceed the manufacturer’s maximum recommended dose, plus a mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen.
if you have an oral conscious sedation permit for minors, what can you do/
provide, by definition, oral sedation to “moderate” levels for <13y.o
- can use multiple oral agents
- can use nitrous oxide alongside
- can exceed the FDA MRD (Manufacturer’s recommended dosage)
What can you do if you have a pediatric minimal sedation permit?
- restricted to one sedative only at or below the FDA MRD
- can use nitrous oxide
- can employ adjunctive agents for other therapeutic uses
- use monitoring consistent with minimal sedation
What do you need to be competent in to be able to have a moderate sedation permit for adults?
- need to take a CE course that fulfills the ADA guidelines (60 hours didactic, 20 live-patient experiences)
- be competent in starting an intravenous line
- be able to rescue from unintended deeper level of sedation
What is the adult dosage for adults for diphenhydramine/
25-50mg oral
What is the pediatric dosage for diphenhydramine/
5mg/kg/24hr not to exceed 300 mg
What is the adult dosage for hydroxyzine
50-100 mg oral
What is the pediatric dosage for hydroxyzine
0.6-2.2mg/kg
What is the adult dosage for doxylamine?
5-10mg oral
What is the pediatric dosage for doxylamine?
- 1.9-3.125 mg (2-6 y.os)
* 3.75-6.25mg (6-12 y.os)
