  • pale, clammy, central chest pain
22
Q

Asthma features

A
  • increased breathing and circulatory rate
  • wheezing
23
Q

hypoglycaemia features

A
  • initially talking
  • initially increased breathing and circulation rate
  • initially alert
  • irritable, confused, pale
24
Q

seizure treatment

A
  • if repeated or prolonged consider 10mg midazolam via buccal mucosa
25
Q

syncope treatment

A

elevate legs

26
Q

Reversible pulpits

A
  • mild inflammation to pulp
  • tooth may respond more than normal to stimuli e.g. heat
  • stimuli tend to produce sharp pain (a delta fibres) that resolves within 5-10 secs after stimuli removed
  • cause of inflammation caries - pulp-dentine complex returns to normal
27
Q

irreversible pulpitis

A
  • dull aching pain lasting minutes or hours
  • worsens at night or when lying down due to increased pulpal pressure
  • will become necrotic if left untreated
  • tx = XLA/RCT
28
Q

necrosis

A
  • blood supply non-existent
  • negative to EPT and cold sensitivity
  • radiographic PDL thickening and PA lucency
  • tx= ends/XLA
29
Q

ANUG - actue necrotising ulcerative gingivitis treatment

A
  • ultrasonic debridement
  • chlorohexidine mouthwash, oral hygiene instruction
  • metronidazole 400mg 3x a day for 3 days

30
Q
