Notes de l'éditeur
In dental school, dentist are trained in way to assess patient risk and manage medical emergencies.
Imp feature in continuing education is to maintain certification in basic life support(BLS)
The dentist must ensure that all office personal are trained to assist in the recognition and management of emergencies.
Lack of response to sensory stimulation establishes a diagnosis of unconsciousness.
Assistance should be sought as soon as unconsciousness is recognized.place the patient in supine position and feet raised.
While maintainin head tilt-chin lift,rescuer places his ear 1 inch away from the victim’s mouth and nose so that any exhaled air from the victim may be felt and heard.breathing is assessd for at least 5 sec not more than 10 sec
4b-mouth to mask ventilation.give 1 breath every 5-6 sec.each breath shud result in visible chest rise.check pulse in 2min.
5a-having delivered o2 to the blood, health care provider must next determine whether that blood Is being circulated or not.carotid.ease of access,it transport blood to brain.if the rescuer is unsure whether or not the victim has a pulse, chest compression should be started.
5b-inform EMS about location, exactly what happened, condition of the victim,
5c-external chest compression consis rhythmic application of pressure over the lower half of the sternum.sternum is compresses 1-2 inch.Acc to 2005 American heart association guideline compression rate should be 100/min.compression to ventilation ratio:30:2
6-defibrillation stuns the myocardium,producing a period of asystole. If the myocardium is till viable, the heart’s normal pacemaker may resume firing producing an effective ECG rhythm that ultimately may produce adequate blood flow.
As with all allergies,initiation of type 1 response requires exposure to allergen previously seen by immune system.
The reexposure to the antigen triggers a cascade of events that are exhibited locally, systemic
If allergy is truly in question…referral to physician is necessary
determined by the binding of IgE antibodies to a high affinity receptor which binds the Fc portion of IgEs with subnanomolar affinity and is located on the membrane of mast cells and basophils. As a result, a significant fraction of the IgE produced following initial contact with antigen, becomes 'fixed' on the surface of these cells and, in case of a second contact with antigen, the antigen-antibody reactions occurs not only in solution but also or predominantly on the mast cell and basophil membrane
The IgE-antigen reaction occurring on the surface of basophils and mast cells leads to receptor cross-linking and degranulation, ie release of vasoactive amines (histamine and serotonin)
There are many spec. causes of chest pain that is non cardiac In origin…bt sudden onset of chest pain is frightening exp..
Recgn.. Of potentially high risk pt…,incorporation of spc treatment modify go far to diminish life tharetening situation.
Blood lipid levels and CAD.
LDL is responsible.
However no cut off point below which there is no risk
Bt 300mg/ml –risk
42% risk of ischemic stork for every 7mm hg rise in diastolic blood pressure.
To maintain normal lipid level
Characteristic thoracic pain usually substernal precipitated by exercise ,heavy meal
Relieved by vasodilator drugs,rest
Exercise, emotion, exposure to cold, eating
L.A.-0.04mg=1 cartridge.=1.8mL=1:50,000 conc.epinephrine
Psychosedation=n20, o2 not less than 27 to 30%
to a region of myocardium that results in cellular death and necrosis.
Ant.descending branch of the left coronary artery
Acute dental problems like infection pain…managed by prescribing drugs
Acute MI is a result of sudden occlusion of major coronary vessel.
It results from acute thrombosis, hemorrhage,plaque..
Artery most often involved is ant.descending brach of left coronary artery,supplies ant left ventricle.
Blood supply leaving the heart diminished..,leading to sign symptoms
Patient survival after MI..depends on
1-state of left ventricular function
2-severity of obstructive lesion in the coronary vascular bed…
Aspirin dose=160-325mg orally..least side effect with 160mg
50% of patient..allergans may be household dust, feathers,food,drug
Environmental and air pollutionOccupational stimuliPsychological factors
Most severe clinical form…pt experience wheezing, dyspnea,hypoxia..
If not managed properly pt may die…respiratoty change..hypotension and respitarory acidosis may follow.
Provoke bronchospasm
Bisulfite is present in la with vasopressor, so plain la is advised.
B2 adrenergic agonists..epinephrine,albuterol,isoproterenol…
If severe bronchospasm is present IV-hydrocortisone sodium succinate 100-200mg
Ventilation in excess of that required to maintain normal blood Pao2(arterial oxygen tension) and Paco2.
Produced by an increase in frequency or depth of respiration or both.
Decrease In paco2 level…increase in blood ph-7.55-respiratory alkalosis.
1-Dilatation of peripheral arterioles
Failure of normal peripheral vasoconstrictor system
Sharp drop in cardiac output
Occlusion of the internal carotid of the brain
2-resuscitation of the unconscious pt focuses primarily on relief of obstruction.
Brain accounts 2%total body mass,20%total o2, 65%total glucose the body consumes.redding et al noted complete aireway obstruction,victim become anoxic,leads to irrv neurologic change within 4-6 min and to cardiac arrest within 5-10 min.
3-hyperventilation,hypoglycemia
Pt is In upright position it wil take 30sec to reach the pt into syncope stage.
If patient does not undergo clinical recovery in 15-20 min,causes other than syncope should be considered.
Bt it will take few hours
Following management of presyncope, attempts should be made to determine the cause of the episode while the pt recovers.
Psychotherapeutics,opiods,drugs used to manage fear and anxiety can cause postural hypotension…midazolam,meperidine
Pt in upright for longer period.
Two forms..1st in 1st trimester=
2nd in 3rd trimester= woman remains in supine post for more than 5-7 min
For each 1 inch that the head is situated below the level of the heart, blood pressure increases by 2mm hg.
Symptoms during which the consciousness is preserved.
Grand mal seizure is also called as tonic clonic seizure. 90% of the patient….produced by neurologic dis..meningitis..encephalitis..hardly 5 min.
Petit mal seizure incidence is rare aft age of 30 years.pt may experience multiple daily episode..duration rarely exceeds 10 sec…
Status epilepticus..seizure that continuous more than 5 min..most common factor is failure of taking anti epileptic drug.
1-Hypoxia during delivery, trauma,2-hypocalcemia,hypoglycemia..vascular disease importance in causing seizure is it increase with age..aft 60 yr
Any dis that cause impairs th blood flow that can provoke a seizure.
Tonic clonic seizure
L.A.when properly used..
As with all medications toxicity reactions occur if L.A. is given in amount that exceed its serum concentration.
2-avoid IV inj.
Proper functioning of thyroid gland is vital for normal growth.
Inherited enzymatic defect,
Adrenocortical suppression should be suspected if a patient has received glucocorticosteriod therapy through two of the following methods
100 mg hydrocortisone sodium succinate …re administered every after 6-8 hrs.
Drug history-use of medication like blood thinner=coumadin.,aspirin,NSAID and antibiotics….pt asked to stop this drug for 3 days
Regional anaestheisa wirh inferior alv n. block can cause greater risk of hemorrhage compared woth infiltratiojn
Use of fibrin sealants, NSAID should be avoided.
However, preventive, emergency, and routine dental procedures are all suitable during various phases of a pregnancy, with some treatment modifications and initial planning
Place a small pillow under right hip - left lateral displacement
Head above feet
