There are more than 2 million visits every year to hospital emergency rooms for dental pain as uninsured and Medicaid patients often seek dental care in the ER due to lack of access to a dentist. ERs are ill-equipped to treat dental issues and usually only provide temporary pain relief without addressing the underlying problem. As a result, costs are high as dental ER visits range from $400-$1,500 compared to $90-$200 for a dentist visit. Several states have implemented initiatives to reduce ER visits for dental issues by increasing access to care through programs like referring patients to volunteer dentists or on-site dental clinics in hospitals. These programs have led to reductions in dental ER visits of up to 70% while improving outcomes

Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.
End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.

Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.
