Designed to be used with a course in sedation that provides for the clinical management of patients in a controlled (supervised) environment. Combining essential theory with technical instruction, it is a definitive resource for the practicing professional. Considered are factors such as the physical, emotional and mental condition of the patient as well as required ADA guidelines for sedation. All such aspects are then incorporated into the sedation techniques to improve the patient's overall dental experience. The result is an indispensable book, expert in its professional protocols and techniques, and comprehensive in its wide-ranging considerations. Written by an acknowledged expert in the field, the book draws on a wealth of clinical experience and ability. Combines all aspects of sedation with essential theoretical and technical instruction. Techniques are divided into sections on pharmacology, armamentarium, and technique and complications - described in explicit detail that allows it to be used as a chairside reference. Pharmacosedation is covered in full, with discussions of oral, rectal, and IM premedication, as well as nine chapters on inhalation sedation and ten chapters on IV sedation. Covers all of the components required by the ADA guidelines: review of cardiovascular and respiratory physiology; selection of agents; techniques of administration; and management of complications and emergencies. Step-by-step descriptions of inhalation sedation (nitrous oxide and oxygen) and intravenous sedation provide a superb clinical "picture" of the procedures. Chapters on pediatric, geriatric and physically and medically compromised patients offer valuable, up-to-date information on the management of these special needs patients. In-depth discussions of the pharmacology of commonly used sedative agents allow the reader to fully understand properties and characteristics of drugs used. End of chapter review questions to test the student's grasp of materials. Content completely updated to include the most current drugs. More information on recreational abuse of nitrous oxide to reflect the current societal trends. More overall emphasis incorporated on nitrous oxide/oxygen, as many hygienists are becoming certified to administer this form of sedation. Includes the latest on the American Heart Association's recommendations for the prevention of bacterial endocarditis. Many halftones and line drawings have been replaced to improve the quality of the illustration program. The overall design of the edition has been revamped to increase its visual appeal and to make it more instructive.
