Aims

To provide a safe environment to practice the management of complications and medical emergencies when treating dental patients under intravenous sedation

Objectives

• Manage an airway appropriately when breathing has been compromised due to over sedation and be able to safely manage respiratory & cardiac arrest • ABCDE approach to assess the patient and implement the ALS protocol according to the Resus council • Recognise and treat common medical emergencies related to sedation, including administration of drugs and when to call for an ambulance/crash team

Learning outcomes

• Recognise and appropriately manage the key complications in relation to the provision of IV conscious sedation, in line with national dental sedation guidelines (IACSD 2015 & SDCEP 2017). • Demonstrate safe cardiopulmonary resuscitation and airway management in line with national guidance • Practise the management of sedation related complications as a team, including allocation of team roles.
