Q

routine management for infective endocarditis risk

A

Ensure that the patient and/or their carer or guardian are aware of their risk of infective endocarditis and provide advice about prevention, including:
* Explain that having an invasive dental procedure may increase the chances of bacteria entering the bloodstream, this is the same for other invasive medical procedures and for non-invasive procedures (tattoo, piercing)
* Explain that everyday activities, such as toothbrushing, flossing and chewing can also cause transient bacteraemias and stress the importance of good oral hygiene to reduce the risk from oral bacteria.

Give advice on prevention of infective endocarditis to all increased risk patients including:
* the potential benefits and risks of antibiotic prophylaxis, and an explanation of why antibiotic prophylaxis is no longer routinely recommended;
* dental procedures are no longer thought to be the main cause of infective endocarditis. unclear whether antibiotic prophylaxis prevents infective endocarditis and therefore it may occur whether or not prophylaxis is given.Antibiotics can cause side effects, such as nausea, diarrhoea and allergic reactions and, in rare cases, anaphylaxis and antibiotic-related colitis. Antibiotic resistance.

the importance of maintaining good oral health to prevent infective endocarditis.
Regular dental check ups, OH, diet advice

symptoms that may indicate infective endocarditis, seek GP advice ASAP e

Record that this discussion has taken place in the patient’s clinical notes.

If, following this discussion, the patient requests antibiotic prophylaxis, consider seeking advice from their cardiology consultant,
NICE CG6412 advises that ‘doctors and dentists should offer the most appropriate treatment options, in consultation with the patient and/or their carer or guardian’ and that the final decision should take account of ‘the values and preferences of patients’.

Ensure that any episodes of dental infection in patients at increased risk of infective endocarditis are investigated and treated promptly to reduce the risk of endocarditis developing

Q

special consideration infective endocarditis management

A

Assess the patient, in consultation with their cardiology consultant, cardiac surgeon or local cardiology centre, to determine whether to consider antibiotic prophylaxis for invasive dental procedures
* If, after this process, it is determined that antibiotic prophylaxis is not required, follow the advice for routine management

Where antibiotic prophylaxis is being considered, ensure that the patient and/or their carer or guardian is aware of the risks and potential benefits to allow them to make an informed decision about whether prophylaxis is right for them.
* Hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, antibiotic-associated colitis (dairrhoea)
* Take AB prophylaxis 1hour before procedure in dental practice and have to stay there

Provide advice about prevention, including:
* the importance of maintaining good oral health;
* symptoms that may indicate infective endocarditis and when to seek expert advice;
* the risks of undergoing invasive procedures, including non-medical procedures such as body piercing or tattooing.

Record that this discussion has taken place in the patient’s clinical notes.

Ensure that any episodes of dental infection in this group of patients are investigated and treated promptly to reduce the risk of endocarditis developing.
