Pharmacology
We are treating an aging and pharmacologically dependent population. How can
we be expected to respond/react to life threatening situations when they never
occur? Simplicity! Practical equipment adjuncts, a few good drugs, “red flags,”
vasoconstrictor interactions and local anesthetic toxicity are assessed. The
syncope algorithm is universally applicable to initially treating ANY emergency.
Case reports assembled in over 45 years in dentistry will relate both dental office
and life experiences.
