OVERVIEW
Life-threatening emergencies can occur anytime, anywhere and to anyone. Such situations are somewhat more likely to occur within the confines of the dental office due to an increased level of stress experienced by some patients. At the conclusion of this seminar Dr. Malamed will discuss areas which are considered vital to a proper understanding of emergency medicine (prevention, preparation, recognition and management).

OBJECTIVES
As result of taking this course, the participant should be able to:
• Prepare an office kit ( drugs and equipment)
• Recognize and manage specific emergency situations
• Manage unconsciousness, respiratory distress, seizures, drugs-related emergencies and chest pain
