Course Description:

This online course qualifies for 1 hour of CE credit that is automatically issued with a digital certificate upon completion.

Everyone can play a life-saving role.

All dental professionals must be vigilant and prepared for even the most uncommon medical emergencies, as the consequences can be severe. Presented by Dr. Steve Yun, MD, anesthesiologist, and medical consultant for DOCS Education, this program addresses the pathophysiology and management of severe asthmatic attack, anaphylaxis, and angina/sudden cardiac arrest.

Learn simple but powerful strategies and protocols in terms of diagnosing, evaluating and treating these life-threatening medical conditions. Dr. Yun also shares what he considers to be the most dangerous medical situation, one we’ve all heard of, but none of us are truly prepared for.

Dentists, oral surgeons, dental assistants, and office assistants can all benefit from this straightforward and compelling course, because each person in the dental office can play a life-saving role.

Course Objectives:

  • Discuss the management and proper treatment of a severe, acute asthmatic attack.
  • Learn to identify, manage and properly treat anaphylaxis.
  • Understand the proper use and administration of epinephrine for severe asthma and anaphylaxis.
  • Review the diagnosis, management and treatment of angina and sudden cardiac arrest.
  • Identify the most dangerous medical situation in a dental office setting.
  • Review the roles of dental office team members in an emergency.
