Course Summary:  The continuing education program is designed to meet educational requirements regarding the assessment, selection and management of the high-risk patient as defined by the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners.  The program will address specifically to the practitioner’s level of anesthesia training and anesthesia permit level. This program meets the requirements set forth by various state boards requiring 16 hours or less of training regarding moderate or deep sedation for the adult and/ or adult high-risk patient. The purpose of the program is to provide updates regarding legal-state board requirements, medical principles of sedation and emergency management. State board requirements will be addressed including current and updated state regulations.  Specific rules will be addressed to each participant’s particular state.  Requirements addressed will include office protocols, anesthesia equipment and emergency equipment and medications. Necessary documentation such as pre-anesthesia and post-anesthesia instructions, pre-sedation checklists, consent requirements and anesthesia procedure and recovery documentation will be discussed.  Current consent issues and recommendations will be discussed as published by the Texas Medical Disclosure Panel. Medical principles of sedation will include patient assessment of adult high-risk patients, obtaining necessary consultations, and risk assessment.  How the necessary pre-assessment information requirements ascertained is important in determining patient selection.

Pharmacology and administration/ dosing of various sedative and non-sedative medications and their use will be discussed with patient examples. Patient management from the beginning of sedation through dismissal will be presented. Emergency preparation and management is extremely important in the safe management of a sedated patient.  Preparation including required emergency practice sessions, medications and adjunctive equipment will be discussed.  Airway management is extremely important so management during the procedure will be shown.  An airway station to practice emergency airway management is part of the program with positive pressure apparatus and airway available.  Additionally, anesthesia-related and medical emergencies will be addressed and practiced utilizing high-fidelity pediatric and adult manikins. Additionally, anesthesia-related and medical emergency management scenarios will be addressed and managed in groups utilizing life-like high fidelity pediatric and adult manikins. The focus is to enhance the safety and success of non-anesthesia and anesthesia treatment procedures at all levels in managing the high-risk patient. American Society of Anesthesiology guidelines and/ or statements regarding office-based anesthesia, moderate sedation practice guidelines, pre-operative assessment, fasting parameters, assessment of the sleep-apnea and the diabetic patient. Time will be available for an open discussion of various cases and scenarios with the faculty and participants.

 

The program “Management of the High Risk Patient” is designed to satisfy TSBDE Rule 110.16.  This hybrid program consists of online preparation, class lecture and a hands-on component.  The hands-on component will be conducted with a combination of video observation and hands-on practice utilizing a high-fidelity manikin.
