1 What Medical Emergencies Should a Dental Office be Prepared to Handle? Gary Cuttrell, DDS, JD, University of NM Division of Dental Services Santiago Macias, MD, First Choice Community Healthcare
2 Dentists must be prepared to manage medical emergencies which may arise in practice. Studies have shown that 20-50% of Dentist had a patient with a true medical emergency in any one year period. 90% were mild ~8% were considered to be serious 35% were found to have an underlying disease
3 Most emergencies occurred during and after anesthesia Over 60% were from syncope and 7% were caused by hyperventilation
4 Most Common Medical Emergencies Asthma Epileptic Seizures Anaphylactic Shock and Allergies Diabetes (hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia) Syncope Myocardial Infarction
5 Asthma Causes: Inflammation of the lower respiratory tract and contraction of the bronchial smooth muscle. Signs and Symptoms: Wheezing when exhaling, coughing, shortness of breath Treatment Precautions: Make sure patient has their medication with them at time of appointment Use rubber dam only if patients nose and sinuses are clear For controlled asthmatics, LA with EPI should be used judiciously, this is because the sulphite used a a preservative may bring about an allergic attack. Agree on a signal for distress with the patient before beginning treatment Avoid Aspirin or NSAIDS Treatment: Have patient signal you that they need their medication Have patient administer their own medication (bronchodilators) Administer Oxygen if deemed necessary
6 Epileptic Seizures Causes: Seizures are caused by a temporary abnormal electrical activity in a group of brain cells Signs and Symptoms: Patient may have a previous history of seizures Patient may recognize they are coming by a preceding aura Altered consciousness levels Muscle rigidity Convulsions Apnea (temporary absence or cessations of breathing) Cyanosis ( a bluish/purplish discoloration due to deficient oxygenation of the blood) Treatment Precautions: If patient usually recognizes when seizures are about to happen discuss a signal they can give about an impending seizure Make sure patient has taken their medication that day Have Oxygen Ready Be prepared to remove clamp, rubber dam etc. Treatment: Place patient on his side on the floor away from objects until seizure subsides If patient vomits, suction If seizure lasts longer that 5 minutes, call EMS Administer Oxygen if deemed necessary
7
8 Anaphylactic Shock/ Allergies Causes: A severe allergic reaction Signs and Symptoms: Respiratory distress, wheezing Airway obstruction Rapid, weak pulse Palpitations Swelling of lips or eyelids, eyelids may itch and tear Difficulty swallowing Nausea and vomiting Urticaria (hives) Treatment Precautions: Always perform a complete medical history to reduce the likelihood of an allergen exposure If patient usually carries an Epi-Pen make sure they have it with them at time of appointment Treatment: Call EMS immediately Administer epinephrine If patient is conscious give dose of Benadryl If pulse present, elevate legs, give oxygen If no pulse or breathing, begin CPR If patient vomits, suction Continue CPR or monitor vital signs until EMS arrives
9 Diabetes Elevated glucose levels in blood and urine. Persons diagnosed with Diabetes may suffer from too high or too low blood sugar at times depending on medications, food intake, illness or stress. Signs and Symptoms: Hypoglycemia: Hyperglycemia - Rapid onset within minutes - Slow Onset hours or days or weeks (can be fatal) - Hot, dry - Nervousness - Flush malaise - Pallor - Nausea vomiting - Weak, dizzy - Stupor - Hunger, nausea - Drowsy - Mental confusion - Irritability - Lethargy or belligerence - Headache - Decreased rate of breathing - Acetone odor - Increased heart rate - Decreased rate of breathing - Decrease in blood pressure - Increased heart rate - Seizures - Decrease in blood pressure - Tingling sensation in feet/hands - Loss of consciousness, coma Treatment Precautions: Ensure patient has eaten and has had their medication before the appointment Keep appointments short Have a sugar supplement on hand Treatment: If conscious and able to swallow well, give sugar supplement. Call EMS if patient doesn t feel better in 15 minutes or becomes unconscious. If unconscious call EMS immediately
10
11 Syncope The most Common type of emergency in the dental clinic Temporary loss of consciousness with inability to maintain postural control Causes: Fear, pain or stress Fatigue Overly warm environment Decreased blood flow to the brain, vasovagal event Signs and Symptoms: Restlessness Pallor Feeling too warm Cold sweats, clammy skin Nausea, generally feeling unwell Breathing may be irregular Slow feeble pulse Convulsive movements, twitching Loss of conscioiousness Treatment: Lay patient in a horizontal head below feet position Loosen tight clothing Place cold towel on forehead Monitor ABC s (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) Give Oxygen Consider oral glucose in conscious patients in diabetic patients who are conscious and able to swallow
12 Chest Pain A heart attack occurs when a part of the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen. The affected area of the heart muscle is damaged or dies. Chest pain of pressure may be a signal of an impending heart attack. Patients may also experience shortness of breath, fainting, nausea or vomiting, sweating, anxiety. Treatment: Aspirin Oxygen EMS
