IN DEPTH COURSE OVERVIEW
Sedation Pharmacology
In order to safely and effectively administer sedation, practitioners must understand the uses, effects, and modes of action of the drugs they give their patients. The ADMA OCS course teaches these topics in an accessible, practical, and informative manner to prepare you for making successful dosing decisions.
Patient Physiology
Understanding the way the human body reacts to sedation is a key component of safety and a boon to the savvy sedation dentist. By teaching students how to understand topics like receptor sites, airway anatomy, and neuromuscular coordination, the ADMA produces a wise practitioner.
Dosing Approaches and Techniques
Many sedation educators stick to teaching single-agent protocols. Although these work effectively in some cases, they can be dramatically improved when combined with other medications and dosing approaches. Depending on your state’s regulations, you can integrate these newer, more effective protocols to lower your overall medication, improve patient satisfaction, and produce a more balanced level of sedation for easier procedures.
Prescreening Selection
It is important to recognize which patients are appropriate candidates for dental sedation. The ADMA will teach you and your staff which patients you should and should not sedate to keep your patients and your practice safe.
Patient Discharge
Once your sedation dentistry procedure is complete, it is crucial to ensure your patient has the appropriate arrangements in place. Knowing when you should allow a sedated patient to go home is the safety net for any dental office. The majority of oral dental sedation lawsuits focus on incidents occurring outside the dental facility. The ADMA will teach you how to send your patients home in a safe state
Emergency Response
Oral sedation in the dental office is very safe, easy to implement, and beneficial for the patient. However, it is important to be prepared in case of an emergency. The ADMA teaches ACLS-based emergency response procedures catered specifically for the most common dental sedation emergencies including: Laryngospasm, Bronchospasm, Emesis & Aspiration, Airway Blockage by Foreign Body, Angina Pectoris, Myocardial Infarction, Hyper/Hypotension, Allergic and Toxicity Reactions, Seizures, Syncope, Phlebitis, Hyper/Hypoventilation, Cardiac Arrest, and Cardiac Arrhythmias.
Airway Management
Memorizing ER procedures can feel like a daunting task at first. That’s why the ADMA has developed a simple, straightforward airway algorithm that makes diagnosis a breeze. In-person attendees will receive individualized, hands-on training on our high-fidelity simulation manakin. For their turns, webinar attendees direct the in-person dentists remotely via live video feed.
Monitor Interpretation
In addition to monitoring the patient directly, it is important to understand how to implement and interpret electronic monitoring. In this course, the ADMA will show you how to interpret patient vital signs on a monitor to recognize complications and develop sedation skills that make you safer and more confident.
Sedation Billing
Common sedation billing structures are discussed so you can return to your practice with a pricing scale that is in line with industry standards.
Documentation
Integrating sedation into your practice requires diligent documentation. This ensures patient consent and expectations are acknowledged and recorded. If your dental board ever wants to audit your cases, proper documentation helps tell the story for decisions made, and how your patient responded to sedation. In addition, referring back to past notes can aid you in formulating a more effective sedation plan. Upon course completion, the ADMA will provide you with boiler-plate forms for prescreening, discharge, medication logs, and sedation flow sheets for use in your own office.
Office Setup
This course will walk you through what you need to do to prepare your office for a streamlined sedation structure.
Live and Simulated Sedation Case Experiences
In this course, you will get to experience live sedation cases in real-time. This will help you recognize the hallmark aspects of dental sedation. Additionally, you will receive individualized, hands-on training on our high-fidelity simulation manakin. For their turns, webinar attendees direct the in-person dentists remotely via live video feed.
