Grant for course curriculum for dental emergencies relating to sedation & airway management
The main objective of the ADA Foundation's 2008 Request for Proposals is to develop a course curriculum to train dentists to recognize, treat and prevent complications and emergencies related to sedation and general anesthesia with special emphasis on airway management. Dentists are increasingly using sedation and anesthesia in the dental office and a certification course does not yet exist to train dentists in sedation related emergencies. Unlike in medicine, dentists operate in the patients airway, which presents unique challenges. ... There is a need and demand for a course that focuses on emergencies most likely faced by dentists in their offices, especially related to airway management.
