Management of Medical Emergencies In the Dental Office By Dr .Hatem ELBitar
Hypertension • Defined as blood pressure Greater Than 140/90 • Risk factors: – CVA – MI – CHF – Renal Failure 9/5/2022 2
Hypertension • ASA Risk Status I – <140 and < 90 – Routine dental management – Recheck in 6 months • ASA Risk Status II – 140-160 and 90 to 95 – Recheck BP for next 3 appointments, if elevated get medical consultation – Routine dental care – Stress reducyion 9/5/2022 3
Hypertension • ASA Risk Status III – 160-200 and 95 to 115 – Recheck BP in minutes – If elevated, medical consult before dental treatment – Stress reduction • ASA Risk Status IV – >200/115 – Recheck BP in 5 minutes – Immediate medical consultation – No routine treatment – Emergency treatment in hospital – Rx for pain and infection 9/5/2022 4
Hypertension Management • Control BP before elective treatment • Reasonable control of severe hypertension before emergency treatment • Medical consult before treatment for uncontrolled hypertension 9/5/2022 5
Management of Medical Emergencies Common Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office
Vasovagal Syncope Cause: Loss of vasomotor tone due to a massive parasympathetic discharge leading to decreased pulse rate, and decreased blood pressure which leads to cerebral hypoxia and pooling of blood.
Fainting: Vasovagal Syncope In Dentistry • The most common cause is psychogenic due to fear and anxiety; especially from local anesthetic • Most common between the ages of 16 and 35 • Males more prone than females • Fainting is considered SERIOUS in PEDIATRIC patients and patients OVER 40 years of age
Vasovagal Syncope Signs/Symptoms: 1. Frightened anxious patient. 2. Decreased pulse rate. 3. Decreased blood pressure. 4. Cool, moist, clammy skin. 5. Pale appearance. Treatment: 1. Place patient in Trendelenberg’s position. 2. Monitor vital signs. 3. Administer aromatic spirits of ammonia. 4. Apply cold towel to forehead. 5. Administer 100% oxygen. 6. Reassurance.
Postural Hypotension Cause: • disorder of the autonomic nervous system in which syncope occurs when the patient assumes the upright position.
Fainting: Postural Hypotension • The second most common cause of transient loss of consciousness. • Not associated with fear an anxiety • Predisposing factors – Administration of Drugs – Antihypertensives – Psychotropics, Sedatives, and Tranquilizers. – Age: increases with increasing age – Prolonged recumbency
Postural Hypotension Signs/Symptoms: • Decrease in BP and loss of consciousness without prodromal signs and symptoms • Heart rate is normal, unlike Bradycardia in Vasovagal Syncope. • All manifestations of unconsciousness • When patient is placed in the supine position, consciousness rapidly returns. Treatment: • Stop treatment • Assess consciousness • Place patient in the supine position with legs elevated • Oxygen • Monitor vital signs • Slowly reposition patient
Fainting: Postural Hypotension Pregnancy (2 forms of hypotension) 1. Postural hypotension: during the first trimester when getting out of bed in the morning; does not reoccur during the day. 2. Supine hypotensive syndrome of pregnancy occurs in the third trimester. If the patient is in the supine position for more than 3 to 7 minutes, the uterus can compress the inferior vena cava decreasing venous return from the legs. Turning the patient on her left or right side will alleviate the pressure and blood flow returns to normal.
Hyperventilation Causes: –Acute anxiety attack, –Metabolic and endocrinologic disorders (hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, Cushing’s syndrome, pheochromocytoma).
Hyperventilation Signs/Symptoms: 1. Tachypnea. 2. Tachycardia. 3. Parasthesia around mouth and fingers. 4. Tetany, cramps. 5. Nausea. 6. Faintness. 7. Diaphoresis. 8. Acute anxiety. 9. Shortness of breath. Treatment: 1. Assure patient airway. 2. Reassure patient. 3. Have patient “re-breathe” in a paper bag.
Hypovolemic Syncope Causes: –External fluid loss; –Internal sequestration of fluid; –Decrease in cardiac output; –Arrhythmias; –Hypocapnia (hyperventilation); –Hypoglycemia.
Hypovolemic Syncope Signs/Symptoms: 1. Blood pressure low normal or elevated; Tachycardia. 2. Orthostatic hypotension and increased pulse rate. 3. Altered mental states; anorexia; apathy, weakness. 4. Cold clammy skin. Treatment: 1. Maintain patient airway – turn head to one side to prevent aspiration. 2. Administer 100% oxygen. 3. DO NOT use aromatic spirits of ammonia because it stimulates the sympathetic system and augments arrythmogenicity.
Acute Angina Pectoris Cause: Diminished blood supply to myocardium due to an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand.
Acute Angina Pectoris Signs/Symptoms: 1.Chest pain – substernal pressure or crushing sensation. May radiate to neck, left shoulder and down arm, and left side of jaw. Treatment: 1. Place patient in supine position. 2. Assure patient airway. 3. Administer nitroglycerine – if patient’s prescription not available – administer 0.3 mg sublingually. 4. If pain persists five minutes after nitroglycerine dose, repeat administration. 5. If still no response, repeat nitroglycerine and administer 100% oxygen. 6. If angina does not subside – concerned that myocardial infarction is developing. Transfer to emergency room.
Myocardial Infarction Cause: Inadequate supply of oxygen to myocardium.
Myocardial Infarction Signs/Symptoms: 1. Chest pain – substernal pressure or crushing sensation, may radiate to neck, left shoulder, down arm, left side of jaw. 2. Feeling of impending doom; 3. Nausea. 4. Pale and diaphoretic. Treatment: 1. Usually does not respond to nitroglycerine. 2. Administer 100% oxygen. 3. Position patient in semi-sitting position. 4. Transport to medical facility immediately. • Note: Narcotics for pain should be avoided initially, so as not to interfere with differential diagnosis, but if desired give Demerol 25-75 mg IM or IV.
Cardiopulmonary Arrest Causes: –Hypoxia; –myocardial infarction; –anesthesia – local or general; –anaphylaxis; –excessive vagal tone.
Cardiopulmonary Arrest Signs/Symptoms: 1. Absence of pulse. 2. Absence of blood pressure. 3. Absence of heart beat. 4. Absence of respiration. 5. Coma. 6. Cyanosis. 7. Dilated pupils. Treatment: 1. Rule out aspiration. 2. “Precordial Thump” within one minute of arrest. 3. Assure patient airway. 4. Provide CPR – do not interrupt CPR for more than 5 seconds, for any reason. 5. Transport to medical facility.
Acute Congestive Heart Failure Cause: Primary “pump” problem.
Acute Congestive Heart Failure Signs/Symptoms: 1. Right Sided CHF a. Systemic congestion b. Ankle swelling c. Jugular vein distention d. Pleural effusion e. Dsypnea f. Accumulation of fluids in peritoneum. 2. Left Sided CHF a. Pulmonary congestion b. Dsypnea c. Orthopnea d. Great anxiety e. Very labored breathing f. Productive cough g. Cyanosis Treatment: 1.

Put patient in sitting position; assure patient airway; give 100% oxygen. 2. Two inhalations of isoproterenol HCl. 3. If no response to isoproterenol, and in severe attacks, administer epinephrine (1:1,000), sublingually, 0.3 to 0.5 ml over 5 minutes. May be repeated every 30 minutes up to 3 doses. Children’s dose: epinephrine (1:1,000) 0.01 mg/kg (0.02 mg/lb) repeat only once after one hour. 4. Contact patient’s physician.

    Management of MedicalEmergencies Common Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office
  • 7.
    Vasovagal Syncope Cause: Loss ofvasomotor tone due to a massive parasympathetic discharge leading to decreased pulse rate, and decreased blood pressure which leads to cerebral hypoxia and pooling of blood.
  • 8.
    Fainting: Vasovagal Syncope InDentistry • The most common cause is psychogenic due to fear and anxiety; especially from local anesthetic • Most common between the ages of 16 and 35 • Males more prone than females • Fainting is considered SERIOUS in PEDIATRIC patients and patients OVER 40 years of age
  • 9.
    Vasovagal Syncope Signs/Symptoms: 1. Frightenedanxious patient. 2. Decreased pulse rate. 3. Decreased blood pressure. 4. Cool, moist, clammy skin. 5. Pale appearance. Treatment: 1. Place patient in Trendelenberg’s position. 2. Monitor vital signs. 3. Administer aromatic spirits of ammonia. 4. Apply cold towel to forehead. 5. Administer 100% oxygen. 6. Reassurance.
  • 10.
    Postural Hypotension Cause: • disorderof the autonomic nervous system in which syncope occurs when the patient assumes the upright position.
  • 11.
    Fainting: Postural Hypotension •The second most common cause of transient loss of consciousness. • Not associated with fear an anxiety • Predisposing factors – Administration of Drugs – Antihypertensives – Psychotropics, Sedatives, and Tranquilizers. – Age: increases with increasing age – Prolonged recumbency
  • 12.
    Postural Hypotension Signs/Symptoms: • Decreasein BP and loss of consciousness without prodromal signs and symptoms • Heart rate is normal, unlike Bradycardia in Vasovagal Syncope. • All manifestations of unconsciousness • When patient is placed in the supine position, consciousness rapidly returns. Treatment: • Stop treatment • Assess consciousness • Place patient in the supine position with legs elevated • Oxygen • Monitor vital signs • Slowly reposition patient
  • 13.
    Fainting: Postural Hypotension Pregnancy(2 forms of hypotension) 1. Postural hypotension: during the first trimester when getting out of bed in the morning; does not reoccur during the day. 2. Supine hypotensive syndrome of pregnancy occurs in the third trimester. If the patient is in the supine position for more than 3 to 7 minutes, the uterus can compress the inferior vena cava decreasing venous return from the legs. Turning the patient on her left or right side will alleviate the pressure and blood flow returns to normal.
  • 14.
    Hyperventilation Causes: –Acute anxiety attack, –Metabolicand endocrinologic disorders (hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, Cushing’s syndrome, pheochromocytoma).
  • 15.
    Hyperventilation Signs/Symptoms: 1. Tachypnea. 2. Tachycardia. 3.Parasthesia around mouth and fingers. 4. Tetany, cramps. 5. Nausea. 6. Faintness. 7. Diaphoresis. 8. Acute anxiety. 9. Shortness of breath. Treatment: 1. Assure patient airway. 2. Reassure patient. 3. Have patient “re-breathe” in a paper bag.
  • 16.
    Hypovolemic Syncope Causes: –External fluidloss; –Internal sequestration of fluid; –Decrease in cardiac output; –Arrhythmias; –Hypocapnia (hyperventilation); –Hypoglycemia.
  • 17.
    Hypovolemic Syncope Signs/Symptoms: 1. Bloodpressure low normal or elevated; Tachycardia. 2. Orthostatic hypotension and increased pulse rate. 3. Altered mental states; anorexia; apathy, weakness. 4. Cold clammy skin. Treatment: 1. Maintain patient airway – turn head to one side to prevent aspiration. 2. Administer 100% oxygen. 3. DO NOT use aromatic spirits of ammonia because it stimulates the sympathetic system and augments arrythmogenicity.
  • 18.
    Acute Angina Pectoris Cause: Diminishedblood supply to myocardium due to an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand.
  • 19.

If angina does not subside – concerned that myocardial infarction is developing. Transfer to emergency room.
  • 20.
  • 21.
    Myocardial Infarction Signs/Symptoms: 1. Chestpain – substernal pressure or crushing sensation, may radiate to neck, left shoulder, down arm, left side of jaw. 2. Feeling of impending doom; 3.
