titration by appointment means

A

dentist will assess the efficacy of sedation achieved t the first appointment with a given dosage and if necessary, increase or decrease the dosage of drugs administered at subsequent appointments

Q

benzos act where

A

subcortical levels of the CNS – actions on limbic system + thalamus

doses smaller than those depressing the reicular activating system - and the cerebral cortex –

  • barbs and other s do NOT exhibit selective depression, producing a more generalized CNS depression

29
Q

absence of pain the effect of opioids?

A

produce dyphoria instead of sedation

30
Q

select medication based on __ and not_

A

best suit patients age, weight, and medical history, RATHER THAN solely based on the length of time required for the dental tx

prudent to start with a shorter appointment and with treatment that is not too invasive in order to gauge the appropriatness of the chosen sedative agent

amount administered should always be the lowerst effective dose

31
Q

use __ for 1 hour procedures

A

zaloplon

32
Q

moderate length 1-2 hours use

A

triazolam (halcion) - short acting benzo in the dose of .125 -.5 mg can be given 1 hour before the procedure

33
Q

2-4 hours

A

lorazepam (ativan) longer acting can be used

34
Q

oral sedation appointment - adult patient

A

previous visit – the suitability of oral sedation is deterimined

day of appt.

  • arrive 1 hour before
  • sedative drug administered with water
  • monitor to start
  • wait 45 min then evaluate
  • have accompany at all times
  • monitors and vtal taken / t minuts

SUPINE

use of nitrous can be considered

good local anesthesia

discharge with escort

courtesy call after

35
Q

monitoring includes

A

vitals from start to finish and also recording everything

routine preoperative monitoring
recordkeeping

36
Q

monitoring can

A

permit early detection of adverse side effects that may be produceed by drugs or by clinical actinos, inlcuding hemorrhage or underventilation and
allows corrective measures – to be institutted at a time when they are more likely to be effectiveely prevent serious complications from developing

treating urgency – can prevent treating and emergency

37
Q

when can a apparatus be considered a monitor

A

only when it delivers an AUDIIBLE or VISUAL warning when the function measured falls outside of predetermined parameters

if no warning - the device is more a measuring instrument than a monitor

38
Q

monitors designed to measure

A

CNS
respiratory system
cardiovascular system
temperature

39
Q

requiremnts of ideal monitoring devices

A
safe
reliable
noninvasive
easily interpreted display 
easy to calibrate
stable
portable
inexpensive 
no technical aid required
easily integrated with other monitoring equipment
40
Q

vital signs pre op must be

A

blood pressure
heart rate and rythm and respiratory rate

additional - temp, height and weight

41
Q

pulse tells you

A

heart rate and rhythm

42
Q

pulse recommended for

A

ALL patients as part of their routine preoperative evaluation
values below 6- or greater than 110 beats per min in adult - should be re-evaluated before tx is started

43
Q

monitor of pulse?

A

regular intervals is DESIRABLE during parenteral sedation - every 15 minutes or every 5 minutes

continous monitoring of the pulse is MANDITORY for all forms of deep sedation and GA where more profound levels of CNS depression is sought

44
Q

radial pulse palpable?

A

systolic pressure at least 80

brachial - at least 70

carotid - atleast 60

if both carotid and brachial pulses are present but radial is not - systolic pressure is greater than 70 but less than 80 mm Hg

45
Q

monitoring blood pressure is ___ method

A

second method

46
Q

asa 4 wit

A

200 mm hg systolic or 115 mm hg disatolic or higher

requires medical consultation and management BEFORE the start of elective dental or surgical care

47
Q

blood pressure cuff on same with IV line?

A

NO
cause machine will constrict them in that area

same with pulse oximeter – not on the same arm

48
Q

intra arterial blood pressure use?

A

degree of accuracy is great but not reall needed during outpatient sedation

indicated in both GA procedures involving a greater degree of risk - neuro or cardiac surgery and when the degree of risk pesented by the patient (ASA 4 or 5) is significant

49
Q

ECG use

A

monitors noth heart rate and rhythm and provides warning of development of changes in the elctrical activity of the myocardium

standard lead I (right arm – left arm) or lead II right arm – left leg are most commonly used during anesthesia b/c they permit excellent detection during dysrhythmias

50
Q

what can you NOT use for respiration monitoring

A

rise and fall of the chest and color of the oral mucous membranes

51
Q

respiratory monitoring device

A

precordial - pretracheal stethescope

52
Q

two things to consider with breathing

A

rate and soun

53
Q

tachypnea

A

indicates presence of anxiety – hyperventilation - pathologic condition – diabetic acidosis and ketosis or elevated CO2 levels

54
Q

bradypnea

A

noted after administration of larger doses of the opioid agaonist analgesics

55
Q

snoring cause and magemnt

A

hypopharngeal obstruction by the tongue

repeat head tilt and chin lift

56
Q

gargling cause and managment

A

foreign matter (blood / wtaer , vomite in airway

suction airway

57
Q

wheezing cause and management

A

brochospasm

bronchodilator - via inhalaton - only if conscious IM, IV i unconscious

58
Q

crowing cause and mamangement

A

laryngeospams - partial

manage - suction airway + ressure O2

59
Q

he thinks ___ is most essential in monitoring

A

pulse oximetry

60
Q

appearance of dysrythmias with ECG can be due to

A

during sedation can be due to
hypoxia - leading to myocardial ischemia and
endogenous catecholamine release - secondary to inadequate pain control or too light level of CNS depression

61
Q

hypoxia levels

A

arterial O2 saturatino SpO2 of 8^% to 90%

- unsuspected hyoxemia occurs more than we think – study showed 53% in this rang

62
Q

O2 saturation refers to

A

amount of O2 carried by hemoglobin

HbO2 and Hb absorb wavelnegths of light at differing degrees - relative percentages of these two hemoglobins ae calculated within the oimeter, and the SpO2 is displaye don the screen

63
Q

carbon dioxide monitoring

A

monitor levels of
uses infrared absorption

inspired and end tidal CO2
displays a % or mm HG

audible and visual alarms alert the operator if end-tidal CO2 calues are less than or greater than the selected parameters
less than 23 mm Hg or 3% or greater than 51% or 6.5% or if apnea occurs

64
Q

implication of temp / fever

A

can increase the workload of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems

heart and respiratory rates increase with an increase in body temp

the patients ability to tolerate stress decreases

keep recording device in pt. mouth for 3-5 mins
