Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office : High Fidelity Interactive Simulation Exercises and Debriefing Discussions for the Dental Team is organized by University of Florida and would be held on Jul 22, 2016 at University Of Florida College Of Dentistry, Harrell Medical Education Building, Room 465, Gainesville, Florida, United States Of America.

The targeted audience for this medical event basically for Dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, office staff, Emergency Physicians. This CME conference has been approved with a maximum of 5.5 CE Credits.

It is expected that dentists will encounter an increase in the number of medically complex patients seeking routine dental care. Dentists are frequently challenged by the medically compromised patients who present for treatment. The active treatment of a medical emergency in the office setting can be intimidating and confusing not only to dentists, but to any health care practitioner.

In this presentation you will:
- Participate along with your staff and other attendees in hands-on simulations of a variety of medical emergencies for which a dental office should be prepared including syncope, angina attack, MI, cardiac arrhythmia, stroke, hypertensive episode, airway obstruction, seizure, local anesthetic overdose, epinephrine reaction, hypoglycemia, asthma attack, hyperventilation, and allergic reaction/anaphylaxis
- Render emergency care in real time in a stress-free simulated surgical environment; respond to variations in patient response
- Assign roles and direct your team in rescuing your patient
- Define medical risk assessment and learn its relevance to the dental patient
- Understand the stress reaction and how it affects dental patients
- Learn how to identify red flags in the health history and determine whether it is safe to perform the planned procedure.
- Learn how to create your own emergency protocols for managing medical emergencies and review the drugs and equipment you should have in the dental office.
