Medical Emergencies
Compromised Dental Patients2018 update
Robert Bosack, DDS
• Start with the understanding that most patients come in healthy.• Dental guilt – “you did something to cause the problem”• Patients are “sicker”• life-style choices / inadequate medical care
• Start with the understanding that most patients come in healthy.• Dental guilt – “you did something to cause the problem”• Patients are “sicker”• life-style choices / inadequate medical care
Expectationsof dental professionals
1. Identify and understand patient disease2. Identify and understand medications3. Determine if patient is stable4. Stratify risk of procedure in light of co-morbidity,
consult as needed5. Identify need for and implement Tx modifications6. Predict and prepare for medical emergencies

Flaws of medical training in dental schools
1. Depending on medical clearance without asking theright questions or understanding the implications ofthe recommendations
2. MD does not understand dental procedure forwhich they are providing clearance
3. DDS cannot shift responsibility to MD for theiractions

• Survey emailed to 20,000 DDS / 530 responses (2.8%)• Most emergencies could have happened anywhere• Top 3 emergencies
1. Syncope (40%)2. Epinephrine reaction (37%)3. Postural hypotension (34%)
• 95% had medical emergency kits• Oxygen (95%)• Epi auto-injectors (83%)• AED (75%)

The call to 911
9/28/2018
5
Indications for the calllist is NOT complete
• Difficulty in breathing – short of breath– Asthma, unresponsive to bronchodilators– Allergic reaction, rapidly progressing
• Chest pain (not responding to NTG?)• Loss of consciousness (syncope?)– Inability to converse
• Sudden, severe headache or dizziness• Stroke
9
Wouldn’t it have been better ifwe knew – ahead of time! –
that the patient was prone tosyncope ?

Syncope – fight or flight, gone awry
Syncope

1 second 13 secondsHow long will this last?
Syncope: Treatment• Recognize, stop, protect• Supine / Trendelenburg• O2• Ammonia vaporole ?• Monitor duration of recovery• If worried – 911, check history for hints– Primary seizure disorder– Local anesthetic overdose– Stroke– Allergy– MI
14
9/28/2018

Syncopeprobably not worrisome
• Sudden, full recovery, otherwise healthyteens• Feels bad, then pass out, no pain• 1% of all ER visits, 35% admission – no further
Dx, $500M
15
Syncopecould be worrisome !• Elderly• Occurs when supine• No warning• Any underlying CV disease– Arrhythmia – no warning– Medications
• Prolonged recovery or seizure• Any pain / shortness of breath
16
9/28/2018
9
Continue to treat after syncope?
• Use your own judgment• Try to finish as case indicates• Was patient in pain ?• Poor anesthesia ?• Poor rapport ?• Wait 24 hours ????

Patients are sicker !
And scope is increasing !!23
Can your patient tolerate your plannedtreatment?• What are you going to do– Impressions– Use a vasoconstrictor• Crown prep with local anesthetic• Painful RCT• Extraction with flap
• How sick is your patient?– Resilience• Can they tolerate pain ? fight or flight?• Status of coronary arteries
– Reserve• Can you climb a flight of stairs?

The medical evaluation• Patient fills out form + dialogue
• Detect undiagnosed or poorly controlled disease• Medical consultation prn• Assign ASA status• Refer to MD, refer to OMFS
• Prevent (avoid) medical emergencies• MI, asthma attack, seizure, hypoglycemia
• Develop a tx plan consistent with patient’smedical status

Cardiovascular System• Diseases– Hypertension– Blood Thinner– Prosthetic Valves– Pacemakers / defibrillators – CIED’s– Recent MI / stents
• Risk Assessment• Emergencies
32

17
Hypertension• BP > 120 / 80 mmHg– Damages blood vessels– Damages heart muscle and valves– Can exacerbate bleeding
• LIMIT IS 180/110 mmHg• Take BP on all patients
33
Worry about• Increase myocardial demand• Plaque rupture• Hemorrhagic stroke• Prolonged bleeding

Blood “Thinners”1. Antiplatelet drugs– Aspirin– P2Y12 inhibitors
• Clopidogrel (Plavix™)• Prasugrel (Effient™)• Ticogrelor (Brilique™)
2. Warfarin– INR measures,
• Slow drug !!3. DOAC
– Can’t measure, no reversal– Thrombin inhibitors
• Dabigatran (Pradaxa™)– Xa inhibitors
• Rivaroxaban (Xarelto™)• Apixaban (Eliquis™)• Edoxaban (Savaysa™, Lixiana™)• Betroxaban (Bevyxxa™)
35
Management concepts:1. Risk of clot > risk of bleeding2. Do NOT stop or ask to stop these drugs
• Unless very high risk of unaccessable bleeding3. INR should be “therapeutic” – must know on day
• 2 – 3 for all situations• 2.5 – 3.3 for prosthetic mitral valves, recent clot ?

Prosthetic Valves, etc.premedication guidelines
37
Some indications:1. Prosthetic cardiac valves2. Hx of endocarditis3. Cardiac transplant with regurg.4. Unrepaired or unsatisfactorily
repaired cyanotic heart defects
For dental procedures that cause bleeding.

38
Questions:1. Is your MD satisfied with the functioning of the device ?2. Do you follow up with your pacemaker clinic ?
Avoid:1. Electrosurgery / electrocautery
The following devices should be OK, check product literature1. Ultrasonic scalers2. Pulp tester3. Root apex locators4. Curing lights

Coronary Artery Disease
• Hardening, narrowing or dysfunction of coronary vessels• Decreased flow, decreased blood supply
– Stenotic – fixed lesion• Fairly steady course
– Thrombotic – acute• Variable, unpredictable
39
Atherosclerosis
monocytes) Treatment• Diet, exercise, no smoke – no drink – no salt• Vasodilators• Stents
• Bare metal (early (1 mo.)) risk of re-thrombosis• Tend to close back up earlier
• Drug eluting• Prolonged risk of re-thrombosis• Last much longer without closing up
• BYPASS surgery
Recent MI (60 days)Recent stent (1 year)
• Consult mandatory• Cardiac damage– Muscle or electrical system
• Stent can be thrombogenic for first year– Avoid elective surgery ?
• Do not stop blood thinners

21
American Heart AssociationRisk Assessment
• Major predictors – cancel all– Unstable coronary syndromes– Decompensated heart failure– Arrhythmia –• Fast heart rhythms• Symptomatic ventricular rhythms
– Severe valvular disease• Aortic and mitral
– Recent pacemaker
41
AHA “risk assessment”• Intermediate predictors– Mild chest pain– Prior MI– Compensated HF– Diabetes– Renal insufficiency
• Functional capacity– 1 flight of stairs ? - then OK
• Nature of surgery– Dental is minor– Major implant work IS NOT MINOR

Chest pain /MI• You won’t be able to tell the difference unless sudden death• Angina– Stable (fixed plaque)– Unstable (random emboli)
43
Management1. Stop2. Reposition to semi-recumbent3. 100% oxygen (NRB)4. Vital signs5. Chew ASA, do not swallow
1. Avoid with ASA allergy2. 160 – 325mg
6. Call 911 – give NTG if patient uses it

Chest pain in young adultsnew onset or “checked off on history form”
• Frequent trigger for ER visits (8 million)• 1% of ACS patients are < 40 yrs
– Underlying process could be benign or life threatening– Thorough evaluation and risk stratification
• WHEN IN DOUBT, send it out !• Most common cause of acute chest pain in young
adults– Chest wall pain – costochondritis– Anxiety disorders (panic attacks)– GERD

• Epinephrine– α = β
• Tachycardia• Peripheral vasoconstriction• No change in BP• Better choice for hypertensive patients
• Levonordefrin– α > β
• HTN• Less cardiac stimulation• Better choice for “cardiac” patients
• No interaction with MAOI’s• Possible interaction (HTN) with TCA’s• Definite interaction with non-selective β blockers

Broken Needle3 bends and they break, every time
• Never bend needle• In and out in a straight line• Never bury needle to the hub• Smaller gauges are easier to break– avoid use of a 30g needle for a mandibular blocks
• Keep calm• Keep patient still, grasp with hemostat• Retrieval is mandatory

Diabetes Mellitus• Type I– Autoimmune – NO insulin
• Type II– Insulin resistance / deficiency
• A1C
– 3 month “look back” on sugar control
• Blood sugar should be 60-110dl/mg• If too high, patient pretty sick• If too low– Bizarre behavior, belligerent, confused– When in doubt, give your diabetic patient SUGAR !!

• Ensure ongoing successful medication and therapycompliance– Engaged ?– “Steady-Eddie” medication• No overdose or withdrawal
• Continue all drugs into perioperative period– Drug interaction?

“Suspected” substance abusemanagement concerns
• Refuse treatment– With any acute drug exposure– Signs of agitation, withdrawal, skittishness– “soft calls”– “Suspicion clinches diagnosis”
