MED 2 HEMAT ASA Flashcards
Anemias, Stress Management
Mild Nuetropenia vs MOD?
Mild = pre-med with major tx
MOD- pre-med with all
Seve = no tx
23 yo Male, college athlete. Got it with a hockey puck. Trauma sustained only to #9. Drinks on occasion. No family hx of illness. What is his ASA status?
ASA 1
The ANC count helps assess _______?
the gravity of the leucopenia
Healthy patient with NO organic, physiologic, or psychiatric disturbance and with good exercise tolerance, non-smoking, no or minimal alcohol use
Patients are able to walk up one flight of stairs or two level city blocks without distress.
Patient has little or no anxiety
ASA 1
ANC Calculation Formula:
ANC = Total WBC count x (% Neutrophils + % Bands*)
Example: WBC 2000 x (45 Neutrophils + 5 Bands ) ÷ 100 = 1000 Neutrophils
T/F. Ok to use local anesthetics containing EPI in ASA 2 pts
True
Stress management for ASA 1/2 pt: O2 + N2O ; Benzos
EPI ok
Only use which local anesthetic _____________ (if not hypoxic) in the ASA IV patients
Carbocaine (3% mepiv) or Citanest plain (4% Prilocane)
MCP with MOD perio needs gum flap surgery. Labs show ANC of 700. Can you treat this patient now or wait for better health status. Does he needs any medication pre/post- tx?
MOD NEUTROPENIA: 500-1000
OK to treat
Gum flap sx = major dent tx –> needs pre-med
Give antibiotics for 3-5 days after major dentistry
Stress management for ASA 1/2 pt:
O2 + N2O
Benzos [Versad; Triazolam; Diazepam (Valium); Ativan (Benadryl)]
LA with Epinephrine or epinephrine cords can be used
47 YO M. DM2. Homeless. Right foot ulcer. Chronic bronchitis. ETOH dependence.
ASA 3
79 yo granny in SNF d/t TIA last month with wiht defecits to Right side.
ASA 4

66 yo fm. Former athlete now gym teacher. Lives alone. No family/spouse.Drinks glass of wine with dinner. HTN for the past 10 years. Takes SSRIs for bouts of depression. ASA status.
ASA 2
T/F. Ok to give ativan or NO2 to mod anx ASA 2 pt
T
Stress management for ASA 1/2 pt: O2 + N2O ; Benzos
EPI ok
Calc ANC:
WBC: 2000
% Neutrophils: 45
% bands: 5
[ 2000 * (45+5) ] / 100 = 1000
Male pt with ANC of 1000-1,500 Neutrophils/mm3
MILD NEUTROPENIA:
SEVERE NEUTROPENIA:
0-500 Neutrophils/mm3
Severe life threatening infection risk
- Male personal trainer. MOD anx to dentist. NOo illness or dz. ASA status
ASA 2
Female pt with Hgb 12-16. Anemia status?
None. 12- 16 is normal in Females
Male normal is 13.5 - 17.5 g/dL
Examples include (but not limited to): Recent ( < 3 months): MI, CVA, TIA, or CAD/stents, ongoing cardiac ischemia, unstable angina or severe valve dysfunction, severe reduction of ejection fraction, sepsis, DIC, ARD or ESRD not undergoing dialysis; symptomatic COPD, symptomatic CHF, hepatorenal failure
Patients are unable to walk up one flight of stairs or walk two level city blocks. Distress is also present at rest.
ASA 4
MODERATE NEUTROPENIA = ANC value of?
500-1,000 Neutrophils/mm3
Moderate risk of infection
Hgb lvls for :
MILD (M/F)
MOD (M/F)
SEV (M/F)
- MILD: 10-13(m) ; 9-12 (F)
- MOD: 7-9 (m) ; 6- 8 (f)
- SEV: <7 (m) ; <6 (f)
47 YO M. DM2. Homeless. Right foot ulcer. Chronic bronchitis. ETOH dependence. ESRD scheduled for dialysis MWF but goes when he feels like, sometimes not at all.
ASA 4
T/F. Ok to use Epi cord in ASA 3/4 pts
NO F.
Avoid LA with 1:100,000 EPI in ASA3/4
LAs with 1:200k epi may be used in the ASA III patient
Use Alum cords instead of epinephrine cords
Alum is a good substitute as a hemostatic agent
Alum is safer and has fewer systemic effects
AIDS pt comes into the office with pain in RUQ. Labs show ANC of 420. What is his immune status? Can you treat him?
SEVERE NEUTROPENIA: 0-500 Neutrophils/mm3
Severe life threatening infection risk
NO TX
56 yo dad retired veteran. Hx of agina/MI 6mo ago. No surgical intervention needed.
ASA 3
The Normal ANC Count:
1,500-7,200 cells/mm3
28 yo female. Walks 5miles a day. 26 wks gestation. No hx of illness/dz.
ASA 2
Males pt wiht Hgb <7
SEV Anemia

Examples include (but not limited to):
Well controlled DM/HTN without systemic effects; current cigarette smoking/social drinking,
mild lung disease but without COPD;
pregnancy, obesity (30 < BMI < 40),
healthy ASA I patients who show a more extreme anxiety and fear toward dentistry
