Synopsis:
The seminar provides the essential knowledge and skills to handle life threatening emergencies in an office setting. Indications for emergency drug use and proper dosages are clearly detailed. We will discuss how best to assemble and maintain an ideal drug kit. We will provide background and practical know-how for critical tests that will reduce overall risks. This seminar will review and provide each participant with color coded instructional cards depicting the most common life threatening situations with algorithms providing an easy, step-by-step action plan for both dentist and staff. The latest routes of administration for each of the "Top 10" Essential Drugs will be demonstrated. There are no IV drugs included. We will also review the legal and moral obligations that are presented by a medical emergency. This is presented as an interactive (voluntary basis) learning experience. Over a dozen prizes will be given out throughout the presentation.
