Course Description:

This online course qualifies for 1.5 hours of CE credit that is automatically issued with a digital certificate upon completion.

Much attention is given to the negative events associated with dental sedation, even though a study of deaths associated with dental procedures from 1955 to 2012 showed a mortality rate of one in every 327,684 people. Thanks to improvements in monitoring, medications, protocols, and standards, that rate dropped by half in the 2012 report.

IV sedation has proven to be one of the safest procedures in dentistry, however, it’s important to regularly evaluate chair-side experiences that don’t go as planned. In IV Case Reviews, DOCS Education and Dr. Anthony Feck present 10 IV sedation cases involving patients with a variety of ages, physical conditions, medical issues, and outcomes. Even when a problem isn’t your fault, you can still be held responsible, so an ounce of prevention can save a life as well as your practice.

Course Objectives

  • Review the two acceptable reasons to use a reversal agent on a sedated patient.
  • Understand why a pre-sedation evaluation and workup is critical.
  • Identify the most common red flags to watch for during an IV sedation procedure.
  • Learn when it’s safest to discharge a patient after sedation.
  • Review the meaning of CAEBOR when evaluating a sedated patient.
  • When should IV sedation dentists refer a patient out, rather than take on the case.
