OVERVIEW
During the course of a successful practice, oral-health-care providers
will face situations that may lead to life-threatening incidents. This
course will summarize common medical emergencies that require immediate
response in the dental office. The treatment procedures included are
those activities a clinician “can’t afford not to do” when
faced with an unexpected urgent problem.
OBJECTIVES
An awareness of the medical history and the various medications commonly
prescribed for patients to self-administer will assist clinicians in
anticipating the most commonly encountered medical diagnoses and provide
valuable information that will help to identify high-risk patients
who may experience a life-threatening medical emergency. Participants
in this course will be able to recognize signs and symptoms, formulate
a diagnosis, and initiate immediate action to stabilize the patient.
