Anesthesia/Sedation Concepts;

Intravenous and Airway Skills For the General Dentist

by Allan Schwartz, DDS, CRNA

Speaker Bio: Dr. Allan Schwartz

Dr. Schwartz is a 1980 graduate of Baylor University College of Dentistry. He completed a general practice residency in dentistry in 1981.  In 1991 he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from St. Louis University. He then obtained a Certificate in Nurse Anesthesia from Washington University School of Nurse Anesthesia. He has practiced as a CRNA since 1994 and practices dentistry with an interest in  anesthesia in dental practices, delivering care to patients as a licensed dentist with a certificate in deep sedation/general anesthesia.

Course Description:

Students will have the opportunity to learn to apply anesthesia and sedation concepts of patient care and skills toward their patients in their general  dental practice.  We will discuss those skills as they relate to the patient care by general dentists.  Dentists will learn about considerations for the “16 Toughest Patients to Treat,” discuss the most common dental emergencies in general practice and review the emergency medications  typically found in dental office emergency kits.  The dentists will then develop, through individual hands-on sessions, both intravenous insertion skills and airway management skills.

Course Objectives:

• Lectures (6)
• Practical Labs (2)
• Sixteen Tough Patients
• Bootcamp
• Anesthesia Medical Emergencies, Parts 1 & 2
• Essentials of the Airway
• Corneal Abrasion and Positioning
• Emergency Medications
