Status epilepticus (SE) is a medical emergency that starts when a seizure hits the 5-minute mark (or if there’s more than one seizure within 5 minutes).
Convulsive Status epilepticus-
The convulsive type is more common and more dangerous.
It involves tonic- clonic seizures (grand mal seizures)
In the tonic phase ( lasts less than 1 minute), body becomes stiff and person lose consciousness. Eyes roll back into head, muscles contract, back arches, and trouble breathing.
As the clonic phase starts, body spasms and jerks occur. Neck and limbs flex and relax rapidly but slow down over a few minutes.
Once the clonic phase ends, patient might stay unconscious for a few more minutes. This is the postictal period.Non-convulsive Status epilepticus-
Patient lose consciousness but is in an “epileptic twilight” state.
There might not able any shaking or seizing at all, so it can be very hard for someone observing patient to figure out what’s happening.
A non-convulsive seizure can turn into a convulsive episode.
Poorly controlled epilepsy
Low blood sugar
Stroke
Kidney failure

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

FAINTING (SYNCOPE)
It is commonly known as fainting or
temporary loss of consiousness
Although any emergency might occur the
commonly encountered emergencies are :
FAINTING (SYNCOPE)
3. Common Medical Emergencies
FAINTING (SYNCOPE)
It is one of the most frequent medical
emergencies in the dental office.
Syncope is caused due to the decrease
in the blood distribution of the brain
and larger vessels within the body.
4. Common Medical Emergencies
FAINTING (SYNCOPE)
This reduced blood flow to the
brain causes the patient to lose
consciousness. Both psychological
factors and physical factors can cause
syncope
5. Common Medical Emergencies
FAINTING (SYNCOPE)
A patient may complain of symptoms,
and you may notice signs for several
minutes before the patient actually
loses consciousness.
6. Common Medical Emergencies
FAINTING (SYNCOPE)
This situation is usually harmless to
the patient as long as someone is
there to manage. Syncope is one
emergency that can be prevented by
close observation of the patient.
7. Common Medical Emergencies
FAINTING (SYNCOPE)
Who does syncope affect ?
Stressed patients who see blood or
scared about injections and when the
experience pain or fear
8. Common Medical Emergencies
FAINTING (SYNCOPE)
Who does syncope affect ?
Patients who have missed a meal,
stressed and tired and with previous
history of fainting are most affected.
9. Common Medical Emergencies
FAINTING (SYNCOPE)
Who does syncope affect ?
Seen more Elderly Patients Medically
compromised patients and in males in
the age 16-35.
10. Common Medical Emergencies
FAINTING (SYNCOPE)
How can you know beforehand ?
• Ask him whether he is stressed
• Any Previous experiences
• Any Previous complications from
dental treatment
11. Common Medical Emergencies
FAINTING (SYNCOPE) - Clinical signs
and symptoms
• Loss of Skin colour in Face (Palor )
• Dizzyness
• Feeling heavy in the head
• Increased Breathing
• Nausea
14. Common Medical Emergencies

In the Trendelenburg position,
the body is laid flat on the back with
the feet higher than the head by 15-30
degrees
17. Common Medical Emergencies
FAINTING (SYNCOPE) - Management
• Loosen tight clothing and place cold
towel on forehead
• Provide oral glucose in conscious
patients in diabetic patients who
are conscious and able to swallow.
18. Common Medical Emergencies
FAINTING (SYNCOPE) - Management
• Loosen tight clothing and place cold
towel on forehead
• Provide oral glucose in conscious
patients in diabetic patients who
are conscious and able to swallow.
20. Common Medical Emergencies
FAINTING (SYNCOPE) - Management
• Normally Syncope patients recover
easily but if there is delay or if the
Patient doesn’t recover take steps
to shift to a hospital
23. Common Medical Emergencies
HYPERVENTILATION
• The patient usually will remain
conscious.
• This medical emergency commonly
occurs when a patient is extremely
anxious or apprehensive before
dental treatment.
24. Common Medical Emergencies
HYPERVENTILATION
To prevent or reduce this problem, the
Staff should be alert at all times and
should be prepared to help the patient
deal with severe apprehension in a
positive manner.
25. Common Medical Emergencies
ASTHMATIC ATTACK
Asthma is a breathing disorder
characterized by attacks of sudden
onset during which the patient’s
airway narrows, causing difficulty in
breathing and accompanied
by coughing and a wheezing sound.
26. Common Medical Emergencies
ASTHMATIC ATTACK
An allergic reaction, severe emotional
stress, or respiratory infection
can trigger an asthmatic attack.
27. Common Medical Emergencies
ASTHMATIC ATTACK
It is very important that asthma be
identified on the patient’s medical
history, and that the patient brings the
inhaler with him or her to each dental
appointment.
29. Common Medical Emergencies
EPILEPSY ( FITS)
In most patients, these are controlled
with medication; however, under
stressful conditions, they may still
occur.
30. Common Medical Emergencies
EPILEPSY ( FITS)
Also known as convulsions, there may be
temporary loss of consciousness
accompanied by uncontrollable
muscular contractions and relaxation.
During this time, the patient sleeps
deeply and may be difficult to awaken.
31. Common Medical Emergencies
EPILEPSY ( FITS)
Care should be taken that the patient
doesn’t bite on his tongue and also be
careful of the instruments and
equipments which might injure the
patient or you due to violent jerking
(convulsion)
34. Common Medical Emergencies
DIABETES
Two conditions of concern to the Dental
treatment is hyperglycemia (too much
blood sugar) or hypoglycemia
(too little blood sugar).
43. Common Medical Emergencies
CHEST PAIN - Angina
• Pain from angina will usually last from 3
to 8 minutes.
• Pain from angina is relieved or eased
promptly by the administration of
nitroglycerin.
• A patient with angina should include
this information on his or her medical
history.
44. Common Medical Emergencies
Heart Attack
In heart attack the muscle of the heart are
affected due to insufficient oxygen. if this
damage is severe, the patient could die,
however, prompt medical treatment can
help reduce damage to the heart.
45. Common Medical Emergencies
Heart Attack
In heart attack the muscle of the heart are
affected due to insufficient oxygen. if this
damage is severe, the patient could die,
however, prompt medical treatment can
help reduce damage to the heart.
46. Common Medical Emergencies
Heart Attack
Unexplained sudden chest pain with or
without sweating should be treated as a
potential acute myocardial infarction.
47. Common Medical Emergencies
ALLERGIC REACTIONS
An allergy, also known as hypersensitivity,
is an altered state of reactivity in body
tissue in response to specific antigens.
48. Common Medical Emergencies
ALLERGIC REACTIONS
An antigen is a foreign substance from the
environment such as a chemical, bacteria,
virus, or pollen that causes an immune
response through the production
of antibodies.
51. Common Medical Emergencies
ALLERGIC REACTIONS
Although the patient’s health history is the
major factor in determining risk of allergy,
every new drug or dental material
introduced to a patient could possibly
produce a reaction.
52. Common Medical Emergencies
ALLERGIC REACTIONS
These include swelling, blockage of
air passages, and a drop in blood pressure.
Without appropriate care, the patient may
die within a few minutes.
53. Common Medical Emergencies
CHOKING
a patient may swallow or aspirate or
partially swallow a large object. The
foreign body may become lodged in the
throat and cut of air supply, which may
cause the person’s reflex action of
coughing to begin.
54. Common Medical Emergencies
CHOKING
If a person can speak, wheeze, or cough,
there is some air supply entering into the
lungs. The patient shows signs of great
anxiety and struggles to remove the
object.
55. Common Medical Emergencies
CHOKING
If the object becomes totally lodged and
there is no air supply, the patient is not
able to make any noise or cough
at all. The rescuer must be ready to offer
immediate assistance because the brain
cannot live long without oxygen,
which is supplied from the blood.
57. Common Medical Emergencies
CHOKING
The Heimlich maneuvre
The Heimlich maneuvre is a rescue
method used to forcefully displace
retained air in the diaphragm up and
out the windpipe to dislodge a
foreign object.
59. Common Medical Emergencies
The Heimlich maneuvere
CHOKING ADULTS
A choking victim can’t speak or
breathe and needs your help
immediately.
60. Common Medical Emergencies
The Heimlich maneuvere
Follow these steps to help a choking
victim:
• From behind, wrap your arms around
the victim’s waist.
• Make a fist and place the thumb side
of your fist against the victim’s upper
abdomen, below the ribcage and
above the navel.
61. Common Medical Emergencies
The Heimlich maneuvere
• Grasp your fist with your other
hand and press into their upper
abdomen with a quick upward
thrust.
• Do not squeeze the ribcage;
confine the force of the thrust to
your hands.
• Repeat until object is expelled.
64. Common Medical Emergencies
Basic Life Support (BLS)
Among the possible emergencies
that a dental staff may encounter,
sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the
among the most likely to result in
the death of a patient.
65. Common Medical Emergencies
Basic Life Support (BLS)
In such cases the immediate need is
to revive the patient till expert help
arrives or till the patient reaches a
hospital
66. Common Medical Emergencies
