MEDICAL EMERGENCIES IN
DENTAL PRACTICE – Can you cope in a crisis?
|
|
Hands-on training for real life emergencies. A
dentist will experience a medical emergency in the surgery on average
every 4 years. Effective management requires more than being able to
perform CPR on a dummy. This course will be taught by clinicians with
both dental and medical training, who have managed real life
emergencies. The course will cover:
-
The prevention of problems by patient assessment and planning
-
The correct recognition and diagnosis of an emergency
-
The practical management of fits, acute asthma, hypoglycaemia,
angina, allergic reactions, airway obstruction
-
The equipment and drugs you really need in your surgery
-
Hands-on teaching of IV access, drug administration, airway control,
cricothyroidotomy
If you have not practiced these skills
in the last 12 months – now is the time! Good emergency management is a
team effort and we would welcome the participation of dental nurses on
this course. Limited to 16 participants.
