    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION And what of the god of sleep, patron of anaesthesia? The centuries themselves number more than 21 since Hypnos wrapped his cloak of sleep over Hellas. Now before Hypnos, the artisan, is set the respiring flame – that he may, by knowing the process, better the art. John W. Severinghaus When, in 1969, John Severinghaus penned that conclusion to his foreword for the first edition of John Nunn’s Applied Respiratory Physiology (Nunn 1969), he probably did not have in mind a potential interaction between surgery, anaesthesia, analgesia and postoperative sleep. It is only since then that we have identified the importance of sleep after surgery and embarked upon research into this aspect of perioperative medicine. Johns and his colleagues (Johns 1974) first suggested and examined the potential role of sleep disruption in the generation of morbidity after major surgery in 1974. It soon became clear that sleep-related upper airway obstruction could even result in death after upper airway surgery (Kravath 1980). By the mid-eighties, sleep had been implicated as a causative factor for profound episodic hypoxaemia in the early postoperative period (Catley 1985). The end of that decade saw the first evidence for a rebound in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep that might be contributing to an increase in episodic sleep- related hypoxaemic events occurring later in the first postoperative week (Knill 1987; Knill 1990). Since then, speculation regarding the role of REM sleep rebound in the generation of late postoperative morbidity and mortality (Rosenberg-Adamsen 1996a) has evolved 1 into dogma (Benumof 2001) without any direct evidence to support this assumption.

  • Guide for Dental Fees for General Dentists January 2020
    Guide for Dental Fees for General Dentists January 2020 Copyright © 2019 by the Alberta Dental Association and College ALBERTA DENTAL ASSOCIATION AND COLLEGE Preamble The fees listed herein are published to serve merely as a guide. No dentist receiving this list is under any obligation to accept the fees itemized. Any dentist who does not use all or any of these fees will in no way suffer in their relations with the Alberta Dental Association and College or any other body, group or committee affiliated with or under the control of the Alberta Dental Association and College. A genuine suggested fee guide is one which is issued merely for professional information purposes without raising any intention or expectation whatsoever that the membership will adopt the guide for their practices. Dentists have the right and freedom to use any dental codes that are included in the Alberta Uniform System of Coding and List of Services. Dentists may use these fees to assist them in determining their own professional fees. A suggested protocol to follow in order to eliminate the possibility of patient misunderstandings regarding the fees for dental treatment is: a. Perform a thorough oral examination for the patient. b. Explain, carefully, the particular problems encountered in this patient's mouth. Describe your treatment plan and prognosis, in a manner, which the patient can fully understand. Assure yourself that the patient has understood the presentation. c. Present your fee for treatment, before the commencement of treatment. d. Arrange financial commitments in such a manner that the patient understands their obligation. e.

    PEDIATRIC/CRANIOFACIAL Pharyngeal Flap Outcomes in Nonsyndromic Children with Repaired Cleft Palate and Velopharyngeal Insufficiency Stephen R. Sullivan, M.D., Background: Velopharyngeal insufficiency occurs in 5 to 20 percent of children M.P.H. following repair of a cleft palate. The pharyngeal flap is the traditional secondary Eileen M. Marrinan, M.S., procedure for correcting velopharyngeal insufficiency; however, because of M.P.H. perceived complications, alternative techniques have become popular. The John B. Mulliken, M.D. authors’ purpose was to assess a single surgeon’s long-term experience with a Boston, Mass.; and Syracuse, N.Y. tailored superiorly based pharyngeal flap to correct velopharyngeal insufficiency in nonsyndromic patients with a repaired cleft palate. Methods: The authors reviewed the records of all children who underwent a pharyngeal flap performed by the senior author (J.B.M.) between 1981 and 2008. The authors evaluated age of repair, perceptual speech outcome, need for a secondary operation, and complications. Success was defined as normal or borderline sufficient velopharyngeal function. Failure was defined as borderline insufficiency or severe velopharyngeal insufficiency with recommendation for another procedure. Results: The authors identified 104 nonsyndromic patients who required a pharyngeal flap following cleft palate repair. The mean age at pharyngeal flap surgery was 8.6 Ϯ 4.9 years. Postoperative speech results were available for 79 patients. Operative success with normal or borderline sufficient velopharyngeal function was achieved in 77 patients (97 percent). Obstructive sleep apnea was documented in two patients. Conclusion: The tailored superiorly based pharyngeal flap is highly successful in correcting velopharyngeal insufficiency, with a low risk of complication, in non- syndromic patients with repaired cleft palate.
