CONSCIOUS SEDATION FOR DENTAL PROCEDURES
Level of Sedation • Awake • Conscious sedation ( sedoanalgesia) • Deep sedation • General anesthesia
Conscious Sedation • A minimally depressed level of consciousness which allows the patient to independently and continuously maintain a patent airway and respond appropriately to verbal commands • Anxiolysis • Moderate Sedation
Consciousness • Protective reflexes • Patent air way • Verbal contact
Deep Sedation • A controlled state of depressed consciousness accompanied by a partial loss of • protective reflexes and • the ability to respond appropriately to verbal commands
C.N.S.Depressants • Narcotics • Tranquilizers • Sedatives • Hypnotics • Induction agents • Anticonvulsants
General Anesthesia • The elimination of all sensation accompanied by the loss of consciousness
Stages of General Anesthesia • Stage I • Analgesia • Stage II • Delirium • Stage III • Surgical anesthesia • 4 planes of surgical anesthesia
Stages of General Anesthesia • Stage IV • Medullar paralysis
Provider Responsibilities • Pre-Procedure preparation • Pre-Procedure Patient Assessment • Intraoperative Responsibilities • Post-operative Responsibilities
Provider Responsibilities • Pre-Procedure preparation • Equipment • Instruments • Venipuncture • Monitors • Emergency Supplies • “Crash Cart” • Cardiac Monitor • Medications
Diphenhydramine • Antihistamine that works at H-1 receptors. • Used for mild sedation & its antihistamine properties. • May cause paradoxical excitement. • May produce hypotension, tachycardia, and urinary retention. • Use with caution in infants and young children.
Provider Responsibilities • Pre-Procedure Patient Assessment • Vital Signs • Allergies • Contacts/Dentures • NPO status • Air way • Changes in medical history • URI • Hospitalizations • Sick family members
Airway Assessment • This picture represents a Mallampati Class One airway. The entire uvula and tonsillar pillars are seen. This individual should be easy to mask ventilate or to intubate with a laryngoscope and endotracheal tube.
Airway Assessment • This picture represents a Mallampati Class Three airway. None of the uvula or tonsillar pillars are seen. This individual may hard to mask ventilate, and quite difficult to intubate.
Airway Assessment • This image is representative of an extremely short thyromental distance, indicating tremendous difficulty in tracheal intubation, and possible difficulty establishing a satisfactory mask seal.
Special Considerations • Pediatric patients • Not “little adults” • Geriatric patients • Unique subclass of patients with physiological changes complicating treatment
“Show Stoppers” • Food or fluid intake 6 hours prior to surgery • Clear fluid intake within 2 hours of surgery • Can read newspaper print when looking through liquid • Recent alcohol ingestion • Recreational drug use • Pregnancy • Thyroid Dysfunction
“Show Stoppers” • Recent asthma attack or respiratory failure • Treatment with MAO inhibitors • Tricyclic Antidepressants • Adrenal Dysfunction • Renal Dysfunction
Provider Responsibilities • Pre-Procedure Patient Assessment • Informed Consent • Escort Present • Establishes patient’s mental status • Under the influence of alcohol or drugs • Oriented to person, place, time • Documentation
A.S.Aphysicalstatus classification • Class I A normal, healthy patient. • Class II A patient with mild systemic disease. • Class III A patient with severe systemic disease. • Class IV A patient with disease that is a constant threat to his life. • Class V A moribund patient who is not expected to survive without operation.
Provider Responsibilities • Intraoperative Responsibilities • Informed consent signed prior to sedation • Name, dose, route and time of all medications documented • Procedure begin and end times • Prior adverse reactions • Pre-medication time and effect
Provider Responsibilities • Intr-aoperative Responsibilities • Vital Signs • BP • Heart Rate • Respiratory Rate • Oxygen Saturation • Level of Consciousness
Provider Responsibilities • Post-operative Responsibilities • Vital Signs at least every 5 minutes • BP • Heart Rate • Respiratory Rate • Oxygen Saturation • Level of Consciousness • Sedated patients must be continuously monitored until discharged
FACILITIES The location should be of adequate size equipped to deal with a cardiopulmonary emergency. This must include: Tilted operating table, trolley or chair. Adequate suction and room lighting. A supply of oxygen and suitable devices.
FACILITIES (2) Adequate equipments for artificial ventilation and airway management - Appropriate drugs for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. - Intravenous equipment. - Pulse oxymeter. - Defibrillator.
FACILITIES (3) • Emergency drugs should include at least the following: • Adrenaline, atropine • Dextrose 50% • Lignocaine • Naloxone, Flumazenil
MONITORING Pulse oxymeter B Blood pressure ECG Capnometry . .
The following values are indicative of the “normal” adult patient. Pediatric and Geriatric patients have different values and unique characteristics for which the anesthesiologist/surgeon must be aware
Blood Pressure • Specifically mean arterial pressure (MAP) • MAP • Systolic BP – Diastolic BP/3 + Diastolic BP • Also written as Diastolic BP + 1/3 Pulse Pressure • Normal 80-100 • Body loses auto regulatory capacity at a MAP less than 50 or greater than 150
Heart Rate • Normal range 60-90
Respiratory Rate • Normal range 10-16 per minute
Oxygen Saturation • Must be greater than 90% • Supplemental oxygen via nasal canula • Initially 2-3 liters/minute
OXYGENATION Degrees of hypoxemia occur frequently during intravenous sedation without oxygen supplementation. Oxygen administration Pulse oxymetry
Recommended Alarm Limits • LowHigh • Systolic BP 85 150 • Diastolic BP 50 100 • Rate BPM 50 110 • SP O2 92 100
Level of Consciousness • Must be able to respond to verbal stimuli by the surgeon in the clinic • May be greatly sedated or unable to arouse by verbal stimuli in the operating room
Provider Responsibilities • Post-operative Responsibilities • ALDRETE Post-Operative Scoring System • A cumulative score of 8 or above is necessary for discontinuation of monitoring • We generally use a goal of 10 as necessary for dismissal from clinic • Sum of standardized measurements of movement, respiration, circulation, color and level of consciousness
Movement • Move all 4 extremities 2 • Move 2 extremities 1 • No control 0
Respiration • Breathe deep and cough 2 • Dyspnea 1 • No respirations 0
Circulation • BP +/- 20% pre-sedation level 2 • BP +/- 21-50% pre-sedation level 1 • BP +/- > 50% pre-sedation level 0
Consciousness • Fully alert 2 • Arousable 1 • No response 0
Color • Pink 2 • Pale, Dusky, Blotchy 1 • Cardboard 0
METHODS • Sedo –analgesia • Midazolam • Fentanyl • Ultra light anesthesia • Diprivan • Ketamine • R.A • Nitrous oxide
Valium (Diazepam) • Benzodiazepine • Produces sleepiness and relief of apprehension • Onset of action 1-5 minutes • Half-life • 30 hours • Active metabolites • Average sedative dose • 10-12 mg
Midazolam (Dormicom) • Short acting benzodiazepine • 4 times more potent than Valium • Produces sleepiness and relief of apprehension • Onset of action 3-5 minutes • Half-life • 1.2-12.3 hours • Average sedative dose • 2.5-7.5 mg

The Key to Sedation • Local Anesthesia • If a poor local anesthetic block has been given, the patient will continue to feel pain throughout the procedure
