  • A Review of the Use of Inhalation Sedation in General Dental Practice
    1 A Review of the Use of Inhalation Sedation in General Dental Practice By Chetan Kaher BDS BSc (Hons) MFDS 2 Abstract Within dentistry, nitrous oxide inhalation sedation is the safest form of sedation used. It is particularly useful in anxious but co-operative children. One of problems associated with the use of nitrous oxide is the occupational exposure which has been linked to decreased psychomotor performance, haematological disorders, spontaneous abortion and reduced fertility. This article reviews the history, use and safety issues surrounding occupational exposure to nitrous oxide and offers guidance on the use of nitrous oxide inhalation sedation in general dental practice. 3 Introduction Since 1844 nitrous oxide (N2O) has been widely used for sedation to manage pain and anxiety in patients. Sedation is used to calm a nervous, apprehensive patient through the use of drugs without inducing the loss of consciousness. By definition, verbal contact with the patient is maintained, their protective reflexes remain intact and the patient is able to understand and respond to verbal commands. Nitrous oxide causes mental/muscular relaxation, decreases the fear for future dental treatment and has analgesic properties. It has an excellent clinical record with few side effects and has reduced the need for general anaesthetic in the anxious patients. Whilst a valuable tool in managing patients, chronic exposure in dental professionals has been linked to decreased psychomotor performance, spontaneous abortion, reduced fertility, malignancy and congenital abnormalities1. It is now legally incumbent on all organisations using nitrous oxide, to control the occupational exposure to this gas to below 100ppm over a time-weighted average (TWA) period of eight hours, under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 2,3,4.

    Near Drowning McHenry Western Lake County EMS Definition • Near drowning means the person almost died from not being able to breathe under water. Near Drownings • Defined as: Survival of Victim for more than 24* following submission in a fluid medium. • Leading cause of death in children 1-4 years of age. • Second leading cause of death in children 1-14 years of age. • 85 % are caused from falls into pools or natural bodies of water. • Male/Female ratio is 4-1 Near Drowning • Submersion injury occurs when a person is submerged in water, attempts to breathe, and either aspirates water (wet) or has laryngospasm (dry). Response • If a person has been rescued from a near drowning situation, quick first aid and medical attention are extremely important. Statistics • 6,000 to 8,000 people drown each year. Most of them are within a short distance of shore. • A person who is drowning can not shout for help. • Watch for uneven swimming motions that indicate swimmer is getting tired Statistics • Children can drown in only a few inches of water. • Suspect an accident if you see someone fully clothed • If the person is a cold water drowning, you may be able to revive them.
