Stress responseDefinition:
It is the name given to the hormonal andmetabolic changes which follow injury or trauma.
This is part of the systemic reaction to injurywhich encompasses a wide range ofendocrinological, immunological and
hematological effects. Thus it is a Group of reactions with functional and
protective effects.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
6/262
Activation of the stress response The endocrine response is activated by afferent
neuronal impulses from the site of injury.
These travel along sensory nerve roots through thedorsal root of the spinal cord, up the spinal cord to themedulla to activate the hypothalamus.

Stages *Immediate circulatory adjustment stage: *Late
metabolic changes stage
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
10/262
Immediate circulatory adjustment
stage: Increase sympathetic discharge from the adrenal
medulla and nerve endings-> Adrenaline andnoradrenaline- Vasoconstriction of the splanchiccutanuous vessels -> keep perfusion of the vital organs.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
11/262
Sympathoadrenalresponse
Hypothalamic activation of the sympathetic autonomic nervous system--increased secretion of catecholamines from the adrenal medullaand release of norepinephrine from presynaptic nerve terminals.Norepinephrine is primarily a neurotransmitter, but there is somespillover of norepinephrine released from nerve terminals into thecirculation. The increased sympathetic activity results in the wellrecognized cardiovascular effects of tachycardia and hypertension. Inaddition, the function of certain visceral organs, including the liver,pancreas and kidney, is modified directly by efferent sympatheticstimulation and/or circulating catecholamines.

Posterior pituitary
The posterior pituitary produces arginine vasopressinwhich has a major role as an antidiuretic hormone.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
16/262
Anterior pituitary Anterior pituitary hormone secretion is stimulated by
hypothalamic releasing factors. The pituitary synthesizes-corticotrophin or adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH).
- Growth hormone -prolactin aresecreted in increased amounts from the pituitary inresponse to a surgical stimulus.Concentrations of the other anterior pituitary hormones, -
thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), -follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) -luteinizing hormone (LH) donot change markedly during surgery
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
17/262
Corticotrophin
Corticotrophin (ACTH) is a 39 amino acid peptide,produced in the pituitary. ACTHstimulates the adrenal cortical secretion ofglucocorticoids so that circulating concentrations ofcortisol are increased.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
18/262
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
19/262
Cortisol
Cortisol secretion from the adrenal cortex increasesrapidly following the start of surgery, as a result ofstimulation by ACTH. From baseline values of around
400 nmol litre1, cortisol concentrations increase to amaximum at about 46 h, and may reach >1500 nmollitre1 depending on the severity of the surgicaltrauma. The cortisol response can be modified byanesthetic intervention
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
20/262
Usually, a feedback mechanism operates so thatincreased concentrations of circulating cortisol inhibit
further secretion of ACTH.This control mechanism appears to be ineffective aftersurgery so that concentrations of both hormonesremain high.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
21/262
Cortisol has complex metabolic effects oncarbohydrate, fat and protein.It promotes protein breakdown and gluconeogenesis
in the liver. Glucose use by cells is inhibited, so thatblood glucose concentrations are increased.Cortisol promotes lipolysis, which increases theproduction of gluconeogenic precursors from thebreakdown of triglyceride into glycerol and fatty acids.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
22/262
Cortisol has other glucocorticoid effects, notably thoseassociated with anti-inflammatory activity.Corticosteroids inhibit the accumulation of
macrophages and neutrophils into areas ofinflammation and can interfere with the synthesis ofinflammatory mediators, particularly prostaglandins.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
23/262
Growth hormone
Growth hormone is a protein of 191 amino acids
secreted from the anterior pituitary. Its release isstimulated by growth hormone releasing factorfrom the hypothalamus. Growth hormone.Many of its actions are mediated through small
protein hormones called insulin-like growthfactors (IGFs), notably IGF-1, which is produced inliver, muscle and other tissues in response tostimulation by growth hormone.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
24/262
In addition to the regulation of growth, growthhormone has many effects on metabolism.
1- It stimulates protein synthesis.2-inhibits protein breakdown.3-promotes lipolysis (the breakdown oftriglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol) .
4-has an anti-insulin effect.This means that growth hormone inhibits glucoseuptake and use by cells, which spares glucose foruse by neurones in situations of glucose decrease.5-Growth hormone may also stimulateglycogenolysis in the liver.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
25/262
Growth hormone secretion from the pituitaryincreases in response to surgery and trauma, inrelation to the severity of the injury.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
26/262
-Endorphin
-Endorphin is an opioid peptide of 31 amino acidsproduced from the anterior pituitary.
Increased -endorphin concentrations in thecirculation after surgery reflect increased pituitaryhormone secretion. The hormone has no majormetabolic activity.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
27/262
Insulin
Insulin is the key anabolic hormone.
Insulin concentrations may decrease after the
induction of anesthesia, and during surgery there is afailure of insulin secretion to match the catabolic,hyperglycaemic response. This may be caused partlyby -adrenergic inhibition of cell secretion.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
28/262
In addition, there is a failure of the usual cellularresponse to insulin, the so-called insulin resistance,which occurs in the perioperative period.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry

Glucagon Glucagon is produced in the cells of the pancreas.
This hormone promotes hepatic glycogenolysis.It also increases gluconeogenesis from amino acids in
the liver has lipolytic activity.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
30/262
Although plasma glucagon concentrations increasetransiently after major surgery, this does not make amajor contribution to the hyperglycaemic response.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry

Water and electrolyte metabolism
A number of hormonal changes occur in response tosurgery which influence salt and water metabolism.
These changes support the preservation of adequatebody fluid volumes.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
32/262
vasopressin secretionArginine vasopressin, which is released from the
posterior pituitary, promotes water retention and theproduction of concentrated urine by direct action on
the kidney. Increasedvasopressin secretion may continue for 35 days,depending on the severity of the surgical injury andthe development of complications.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
33/262
Renin is secreted from the juxtaglomerular cells of thekidney, partly as a result of increased sympatheticefferent activation. Renin stimulates the production of
angiotensin II. This has a number of important effects;in particular, it stimulates the release of aldosteronefrom the adrenal cortex, which in turn leads to Na+and water reabsorption from the distal tubules in thekidney,
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
34/262
Interaction between the immune system
and the neuro-endocrine system
In patients after surgery, cytokines IL-1and IL-6 mayaugment pituitary ACTH secretion and subsequentlyincrease the release of cortisol. A negative feedback
system exists, so that glucocorticoids inhibit cytokineproduction. The cortisol response tosurgery is sufficient to depress IL-6 concentrations
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
35/262
Cytokines The cytokines have a major role in the inflammatoryresponse to surgery and trauma.They have local effects of mediating and maintaining
the inflammatoryresponse to tissue injury.Also initiate some of the systemic changes whichoccur. After surgery.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
36/262
the main cytokines released are :interleukin-1 (IL-1),tumour necrosis factor- (TNF- )
IL-6. Theinitial reaction is the release of IL-1 and TNF-from activated macrophages and monocytes in thedamaged tissues. This stimulates the production
and release of more cytokines, in particular, IL-6,the main cytokine responsible for inducing thesystemic changes known as the acute phaseresponse
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
37/262
Interleukin-6
This is a 26 kDa protein. Concentrations ofcirculating cytokines are normally low and may beundetectable. Within 3060 min after the start ofsurgery, IL-6 concentration increases; the changein concentration becomes significant after 24 h.Cytokine production reflects the degree of tissue
trauma, so cytokine release is lowest with the leastinvasive and traumatic procedures,
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
38/262
The acute phase response A number of changes occur following tissue injury whichare stimulated by cytokines, particularly IL-6. This isknown as the acute phase response;one of its features is the production in the liver of acutephase proteins These proteins act as inflammatorymediators: They include C-reactive protein (CRP),fibrinogen, 2-macroglobulin and other anti-proteinases.The increase in serum concentrations of CRP follows thechanges in IL-6. Production of other proteins in the liver,for example, albumin and transferrin, decreases during the
acute phase response. Concentrations of circulatingcations such as zinc and iron decrease, partly as aconsequence of the changes in the production of thetransport proteins

ASA class 1= No organic, physiologic, biochemical,or psychiatric
disturbance.
ASAclass 2 = Mild to moderate systemicdisturbance that may or may
not related to the reason of surgery.
Examples : Heart disease that only slightly limitsphysical activity , essential , hypertension ,diabetes mellitus , anemia , extremes of ages,morbid obesity, chronic bronchitis.

Local anesthetic drugs Local anesthetic drugs act mainly by inhibiting sodium
influx through sodium-specific ion channels in the
neuronal cell membrane. When the influx of sodium is
interrupted, an action potential cannot arise and signalconduction is inhibited.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
59/262
Local anesthetics reversibly eliminate sensationconducted along peripheral nerves by blocking theentry of sodium (Na+) into the sodium channeland thus preventing these depolarizations, therebypreventing the transmission of pain information.The charged (ionized) form of the local anesthetic
molecule blocks nerve conduction more effectivelythan the uncharged base.

ContractilityWith the exception of ketamine , most if not all
anesthetics decrease myocardial contractility.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
67/262
Anesthesia modifies sympathetic and vagal
tone. The heart rate and arterial pressure are increased
during cannulation and induction due tosympathetic overactivity. This can be avoided by
premedicant sedation.Also the procedures of laryngoscopy andintubation produce tachycardia, hypertension anddysrhythmias . This ia sympathomimetic response
which can be prevented by provision of an
adequate depth of anesthesia before intubation The process of intubation can stimulate vagal
response leading to bradycardia which isprevented by the use of anticholinergic drugs.

ideal inhalational anesthetic agents should
have certain properties:
(1) Pleasant odour. (2) Neither flammable nor explosive. (3) Not irritant to the respiratory tract. (4) Low blood/ gas solubility which permit rapid induction
and recovery. (5) Can produce unconsciousness with analgesia, and
preferable some degree of muscle relaxation. (6) Not metabolised in the body. (7) Minimal cardiovascular and respiratory depreshe effects. (8) Allow the use of high inspiratory oxygen concentration
Some Inhalational Anaesthetic Agents:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
74/262
Nitrous oxide : It is a colorless, non irritant and non flammable gas, supplied a liquid in blue steel cylinders under pressure. It is weak anesthetic, but
potent analgesic agent so it can not be considered as a sole inhaleddrug for providing adequate anesthesia.
It is relatively insoluble and thus its partial pressure in the blood andtissues rise rapidly providing rapid onset of action. Also it is rapidlyeliminated from the lungs facilitates rapid recovery. But during the
few minutes of this elimination , large volumes pour out of the bloodInto the lungs and displace oxygen causing what is called diffusionhypoxia.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
75/262
Halothane The most popular volatile anesthetic in the
practical use. It is clear colourless, non f lammable
volatile liquid . It is potent anesthetic but has aweak analgesic effect. It provides rapid smoothinduction , easy maintenance of proper depth ofanesthesia and comfortable recovery. In highconcentration , it may produce respiratory and
cardiovascular depression. It should not beemployed more then every three months, ashepatotoxicity may occur. Also it sensitize themyocardium to the circulating catecholamines.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry

Inhalation Conscious Sedation Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen ("laughing gas") has been
used as the most frequent and primary means ofSedation used in Dentistry for many years.
The safety features of the machine insure that thepatient receives no less than 30% Oxygen mixed withNitrous Oxide. Usually the patient receives 50 to 70%Oxygen.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry

Nitrous oxide is colorless, odorless, non- irritating andrelatively insoluble in the blood as BIG partitioncoefficient 0.47 .The use of nitrous oxide through a
nosepiece in increasing concentrations starting at 10%up to 30% will produce sedation, analgesia andamnesia. A state commonly termed relative analgesia.

This technique is safe , reliable , and produce rapidrecovery .
Continuous observation of the patient throughout
sedation for signs of light- headedness, tinglingsensation, warmth, f loating, heaviness and smile isindicated.
At the end of the procedure, 100% oxygen must beapplied for 5 minutes with
continuous vital signs monitoring.

Deep Conscious Sedation.IV Sedation also known asDeep Conscious
Sedation is usually used by Oral Surgeons anddentists with specialized training and specialcertification.
With this type of sedation, medications areadministered directly into the blood stream.
IV Sedation is not used commonly in most dentaloffices because of the specialized advanced
training required and the requirements forcertification.
The greatest advantage of IV

Sedation is that if someone is not sedated enough, the doctor
can administer more medication and the effects areinstantaneous.
The drugs used for IV Sedation are more effective thenthe same drugs taken orally. There is a more profoundamnesia associated

It is one of the original and best known methods ofinravenous sedation. Pentobarbitone in 10 mg is
injected every 30 seconds untile the patient isrelaxed , and lightly sedated. The supplemented bya mixture of pethidine 25 mg and hyoscine 0.3 mgdiluted in 5 ml.
This technique although relatively safe , requireslong induction and recovery times , patients haveprolonged hangover effects.

Benzodiazepines dugs
Diazepam : The most popular drug used forcontrolled sedation . It is very effective anxiolytic.
It produces amnesia and mild sedation , but it hasno analgesic effect, injected dose of 2.5-5 mg every30 sec. untile satisfactory sedation is reached ,diagnosed by verrills sign (Dropping of the upper
eyelid). But it is a potent respiratory depressive ,produces transient tachycardia. Slow recovery mayneed at least one hour and recurrence ofdrowsiness is common.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
118/262
Midazolam : It is of short half life , highly lipophilicwith anxiolytic sedative and amnesic properties. Withthe introduction of flumazenil , a specific
benzodiazepine antagonist , midazolam is usedextensively in the outpatient dental clinic , it permitrapid return to normal activity than diazepam. Themean dose 0.14 mg/kg.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
119/262
It can be administered IV, IM, P0, rectally, or nasally.
The most common route of administration is IV.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
120/262
Midazolam is a potent sedative agent that must begiven slowly. Administration over 2 or more minutes isprudent.
Never give as a single large bolus dose. Rapid or excessive IV doses may result in respiratory
depression or arrest. If not recognized and treatedpromptly, death or hypoxic encephalopathy may
result.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
121/262
Lorazepam: is another inexpensive compound ofincreased potency.
It may be delivered sublingually as well as P0, IM, and
IV. Intravenously. it has a relative fast onset of action within 5 minutes -
but has a long duration of action - 3 to 4 hours - andeven longer in the elderly.
Narcotics
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
122/262
Narcotics are naturally occurring or synthetic opioidsthat act to provide:
analgesia,
sedation, elevate the pain threshold.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
123/262
Narcotics classificationAccording to their activity at the opioid receptors in to:
agonists,
mixed agonists-antagonists,
partial agonists
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
124/262
Naloxone: (Narcan) It is a pure narcotic antagonist. It competes for the
receptor sites thereby reversing the effect of thenarcotic.
It is important to note that all opioid effects arereversed in parallel. This means that rapidinjections of naloxone not only reverse sedationand respiratory depression, but analgesia as well.This sudden unmasking of pain may result in
significant sympathetic and cardiovascularstimulation, which in turn can cause hypertension,stroke, tachycardia, arrythmias, pulmonaryedema, congestive heart failure, and cardiac arrest.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
125/262
Naloxone can be given in 0.1-0. 2mg dose andrepeated every 2- 3 minutes until the patient isalert with adequate ventilation yet without
significant pain or discomfort. The effects are seen in 1- 2 minutes and last from
1-4 hours. The half-life of Naloxone is 60-90 min.
Because of this short half-life, patients can
become narcotized after the effects of naloxonehave worn off. Patients should be closelymonitored to watch for renarcotization.
Combined use of benzodiazepines andnarcotics:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
126/262
narcotics:
The combined use of diazepam and fentanyl producesedation amnesia and analgesia. But they producesevere respiratory depression and delayed recovery.
Also combined use of midazolam and the agonist-antagonist nalbuphine is used with promising results.

Katamine
It produces profound analgesia and amnesia. But itproduces emergence reactions such as muscle
spasm , unpleasant visual and auditory illusions ,and depression. The combined use ofbenzodiazepins and ketamine can reduce theincidence of these emergence reactions. Sedative
doses of ketamine is 0.2 - 0.8 mg/kg. It is moreaccepted in children than adults.
Propofol
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
128/262
Subhypnotic dose 25 - 75 mg./kg /min. producessedation and amnesia.
It can be used alone or in combination with narcotics
or benzodiazepines. It is a promising drug in outpatient dental
surgery.

Neuroleptanalgesia:
It is a state produced by the use of a combination of , a neuroleptic drug( usually droperidol ) and a strong analgesic (e.g. fentanyl).
It provides effective analgesia in a conscious cooperative and tranquilpatient, but it may cause a marked respiratory depression .So careful
and continuous monitoring of respiration is indicated. Also availabilityof oxygen and airway support must be prepared. evaluation of the levelof respiration assessed and vital signs should be taken. It should benoted that watching the chest or reservoir bag move is not adequate toassure an adequate minute volume. Skin color has been relied on in thepast as a way of assuring adequate tissue profusion. However, thearterial oxygen level can be dangerously low before we see the bluetinge of cyanosis. Anyway, cyanosis is no longer considered to be anadequate monitor of arterial oxygen levels. In this case a pulse oximeterand capnograph is invaluable in assessing the adequacy of ventilation.

deep sedation or Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC), uses
medication to induce a controlled state ofdepressed consciousness or unconsciousness in
which the patient may experience partial orcomplete loss of protective reflexes including theability to independently and continuouslymaintain a patent airway. The deeply sedatedpatient may not be easily aroused and may notpurposefully respond to verbal commands orphysical stimulation. This deep sedation may beadministered by dentists certified to do this only.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
131/262
It should be recognized that various degrees of sedationoccur on a continuum. A patient may progress fromone degree of sedation to another depending on :
their underlying medical status, the medications administered, dosage and route of
administration.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
132/262
It is important therefore that the monitoring andstaffing requirements be based on the patients acuityand the potential response of the patient to the
procedure. Progress from one level of sedation toanother requires appropriate changes in monitoringand observation of the patient.
Patient Selection
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
133/262
Conscious Sedation is not for every patient - there is aevaluation process that must be considered.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
134/262
The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)recommends that conscious sedation be used for:
ASA Class I & II patients, as these patients are the lowestrisk.
Patients classified as ASA Class III may requireconsultation and collaboration by the health care team todetermine if they are appropriate candidates for conscioussedation, or if Anesthesia assistance is needed.
ASA Class IV & V patients must have involvement of theDepartment of Anesthesiology. These patients are notcandidates for conscious sedation and must haveMonitored Anesthesia Care.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
135/262
Patient Assessment
All patients require:
a documented history: current medications, allergies,pertinent medical & anesthetic history
physical evaluation on the chart prior to receivingconscious sedation.
The assessment should include, baseline vital signs,weight, airway status,, mental status, and lab studies.
Elderly patients, very young patients, those with kidney .orliver metabolism problems, and psychologically immatureor developmentally disabled patients may need alternativemethods of sedation and anesthesia.
Selection of drug used for
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry

sedation The drug used depend on the type, duration and
intensity of the procedure
Differences in patients health status with variable
ability to metabolize medications should beconsidered when selecting and administering themedications.
Agents Used for Conscious Sedation
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
137/262
g
Conscious sedation is achieved by administeringpharmacological agents. The most common routeof administration is intravenous (IV), althoughmedications may be given orally (P0), rectally,
intramuscular (IM), subcutaneously (SQ), ornasally.
The most commonly used agents arebenzodiazepines, narcotics, barbiturates, and
certain hypnotics (such-as chloral hydrate).
Equipment and Supplies

conscious sedation depresses the level ofconsciousness while allowing the patient to maintaintheir airway independently, the physician s
responsibility must focus on assessing parameters thatmay be impacted by sedating medications.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
141/262
Observation of the patient before, during and after theperiod of sedation is crucial. Discrete changes inpatient status are often observed before noticeable
changes in vital signs and other parameters occur.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
142/262
Consistent with the ABCs of resuscitation - Airway,Breathing, and Circulation - the ability to positionallymaintain an open airway should be assessed and
documented by determining the level of consciousnessand reusability of the patient. Baseline level ofconsciousness prior to the sedation should also beassessed and documented.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
143/262
Breathing should be assessed through the usecontinuous pulse oximetery and observation ofrespiratory rate, depth and effort.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
144/262
Circulation should be assured through blood pressure,pulse and cardiac rhythm monitoring. Hypoxemiafrom any cause is often reflected by cardiac
dysrythmias (especially bradycardia), necessitating theneed for continuous heart monitoring throughout theperiod of sedation and recovery.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
145/262
Hemodynamic changes reflect physiologicalalterations such as circulating volume changes,vasoconstriction, vasodilatation and other effects of
sedation or the accompanying procedure.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
146/262
A patent intravenous sit should be established andmaintained throughout the recovery stage of sedation.
Resuscitation equipment and personnel skilled in
advanced life support including airway managementshould also be available.

7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
148/262
Patient should be monitored and documented atleast every five minutes.
Once the patient parameters have returned to pre-
sedation levels, or at least 30 minutes has passedsince the last sedating medication, monitoring ofphysiological parameters may be increased toevery 15 minutes until the patient returns to pre-sedation level of consciousness and stability.
Discharge Criteria
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
149/262
Patients to be discharged should be:
1. Stable out of bed for 30 minutes prior todischarge.
2. Able to void. 3. Able to retain oral f luids.
4. Discharged with a written physicians order andfollow up instructions.
5. Under observation of a responsible person andhave transportation from the hospital.

Dosage is extremely important and is usually
calculated on weight so an accurate weight mustbe obtained prior to medication administration.
Complications of sedation:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
151/262
Overdose or adverse drug reactions may cause:
respiratory depression,
hypotension,
impaired cardiac function.
Airway obstruction.

Emergency interventions include, but are not limited to:
airway management.
reversal of sedating medications.
other measures such basic life and advanced cardiaclife support.
Management of Respiratory Depression
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
153/262
Respiratory depression should be treated with :
airway management.
Oxygen.
The most effective way to open the airway is the headtilt-jaw lift. Often this maneuver alone is enough toimprove ventilation and 02 saturation.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
154/262
Every patient should have oxygen via nasal cannulathroughout the procedure.
If the patient is breathing and the oxygen saturation is low,the flow of the nasal cannula 02 may be increased.
Encourage the patient to take deep breaths. If the patient isbreathing but the oxygen saturation remains low, changethe nasal oxygen to a 100% nonrebreathing facemask.
If efforts remain unsuccessful, bag the patient by
connecting the facemask to an ambu-bag. Continue to bagthe patient until the oxygen saturation improves.
If the condition does not improve, intubate the patient.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
155/262
If the patient is breathing and has adequate oxygensaturation but cannot maintain his or her own airway,an artificial airway is indicated.
A nasal or oral airway may be used.
The nasal airway may be more tolerable than an oralairway for a conscious patient.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
156/262
The appropriate size nasal airway should be selectedby measuring the distance from the tip of the patientsnose to the earlobe. Apply lubricant and insert into
one nostril. If resistance is encountered, slight rotationof the tube will facilitate insertion.

surgery
1 - The patient must be of ASA class 1 or II categories.
2 - The surgery must be straight forward and notexceeding one hour.
3 - The social condition of the patient must beadequate for post- operative care at home.
pre operati e preparation
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
162/262
pre- operative preparation Patients must fill in an anesthetic questionnaire, complete
physical examinations and investigations as mentionedbefore.
It is best to operate in the early morning, as this allows full
time for recovery and reduces the period of pre-operativestarvation.
premedication is better to be avoided as sedative drugs willdelay recovery.
It is acceptable to allow clear fluids by mouth up to 4 hoursprior to surgery except in very anxious patient.
Induction
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
163/262
Anesthetic technique is extremely important inday-stay surgery , as it is vital that post-operativemorbidity is reduced to a minimum in ambulantpatients returning borne.
The patient is put in semireclining position. Thisposition allows good visualisation of the larynx. Allthe vital signs insist be checked, then a cannula isinserted, induction is usually with intravenousdrugs except in young children inhalationaltechnique is used
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
164/262
Most of these patients will require trachealintubations, although few can sometimes bemanaged with nasopharyngeal airways and carefulpacking.
Laryngeal mask used with increasing frequencyfor this type of minor surgery.
Nasal intubations is preferred than oralintubation as it provides free field for the surgeon.
The use of topical vasoconstrictor substance suchas cocaine or phenylephrine will reduce theincidence of epistaxis.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
165/262
Suxamethonium is the most popular muscle relaxantused for intubation. However, the frequency ofpostoperative muscle pains in ambulant patients and
the occasional prolonged apnae following this drugmake it a less than ideal agent for day-stay units.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry

There are three stages of recovery followingambulatory surgery namely; early , intermediate , andlate.
The first and second stages occur in the ambulatorysurgical facilities, whereas late recovery refers to theresumption of normal daily activities and occurs afterdischarge.
Early recovery phase
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
168/262
Early recovery phase It is the time interval during which patients
emerge from anesthesia , recover their protectivereflexes , and resume motor activity .
During this phase of recovery ,patients are caredfor in a phase I post-anesthesia care unit wheretheir vital signs and oxygen saturation are carefullymonitored .
Oxygen supplementation, analgesics , orantiemetics may be dministered.
Intermediate recovery phase
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
169/262
Intermediate recovery phase During this phase patients are cared for in a reclining chair
and progressively begin to ambulate, drink fluids , void ,and prepare for discharge.
Most ambulatory surgical facilities have a separate phase II
recovery area for the intermediat recovery of outpatients toa home ready state.
The choice of the anesthetic technique as well as post-operative analgesics and antiemetics drugs have an impacton the duration of the intermediate recovery period.
The late recovery period
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry

ANESTHESIA FOR MAJOR ORAL AND
MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
174/262
These operations may be
either elective or emergency procedures.
Elective operations are divided into three
main categories:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
175/262
Corrective operations of the jaws: Such as fracturemandible and building up procedures, which mayinclude the use of bone grafts.
- Removal of tumors of the mandible and maxilla:which ranging from enucleation of simple cysts to
removal of extensive jaw carcinoma.
- Operations on the tongue and floor of the mouth.
I P ti ti
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
176/262
I - Pre-operative preparation:
Full preoperative assessment of the patients condition, his medical state and ASA classification must be done. Many patients will have abnormal anatomy and considerable problems
for intubations. Difficult intubations is anticipated in the following
conditions: One: Limited mouth opening. Two: Prominent upper teeth. Three: A high arched palate. Four: A receding mandible. Five: A short immobile neck.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
177/262
Also certain tumors especially that of the larynx, donot compromise the airway when the patient is awake,but may cause obstruction when the muscle tone islost under anesthesia.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
178/262
Awake intubation with local anesthesia is a safetechnique, and it is the method of choice in seriesairway problems. Premedication consists of anantisialogogue, with anxiolytic drug.
Local anesthetic solution may be applied to
the nose, pharynx, and trachea to enable trachealintubation.
II - Induction
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
179/262
Facilities for emergency tracheostomy must bepresent.
Management of airway intubation through:
I -Aawake intubation 2-nasal intubation using fiberoptic laryngoscopy
3-Cricothyroidotomy
4-Tracheostoy
III- Maintenance:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
180/262
Anesthesia is maintained by volatile agents orintravenous drugs using either controlled orspontaneous ventilation.
Neuroleptanesthesia using combination of strong
analgesics such as fentanyls with sedatives of thebutyrophenone type such as droperidol is oftenfollowed by a period of postoperative analgesia andsedation.
Blood loss may be heavy. So the use of inducedhypotension is excellent choice in theseoperations.
IV- Recovery:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
181/262
IV Recovery:
Extubation, especially if airway problems areanticipated, is best performed with the patient
awake in the lateral position.A nasopharyngeal airway may be left in place for
easy suction of the pharynx.
Patients are best nursed in an intensive care unit
for the first 24 to 48 hours, especially if the jawsare wired together, and wire cutters should be
immediately available.
Emergency surgery

It vary from simple fracture to complicated bonyinjuries with associated soft tissue damage.
I - preoperative preparation:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
183/262
I preoperative preparation:
First priority must be given to the establishment of a clearairway and restoration of an adequate circulation.
Associated injuries to the head, chest or abdomen mayrequire treatment before correction of maxillofacialdamage
Obstructed airway is frequently present due to blood, teethand bone fragments lying is the pharynx. There may beactive bleeding in the pharynx, and the stomach willcontain blood and food.
The pharynx must be cleaned and suctioned. Thepossibility of concurrent basal skull fracture and thepresence of immobile jaw must be considered .
Patient may be unable to open his mouth
due to the presence of:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
184/262
due to the presence of:
Truisms: Spasm of the masseter muscle is acommon cause of immobility .It responds toadministration of anesthetic and muscle relaxant.
If trismus lasted two weeks or more, fibrosis willinvolve the muscle and the truisms will notrespond to anesthetic or relaxant.
Edema: It may limited the mobility, and cause
great problem during intubation.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
185/262
Pain: It is the most common cause of immobility andalso respond to anesthetics and relaxants.
Mechanical dysfunction oftempromandibular joint:
where the jaws are locked together.
II - Induction:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
186/262
Using pre-oxygenation, followed by an intravenousagent. and suxamethonium. Then a cuffedendotracheal tube is inserted.
When a cerebrospinal fluid leak is present , or there is
a fracture at the base of the skull , it is better to avoidnasal tubes as they may cause meningitis .
III - Maintenance:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry

Patients with immobilized jaws will need special attentionand best nursed in the ICU.
sedation must be kept to a minimum with careful
monitoring of the respiratory system. If tracheal extubation of a patient with a known difficult
airway is followed by respiratory distress , thenreintubation may be difficult or impossible . Thus the idealmethod of extubation is one that permits a withdrawalfrom the airway that is controlled, gradual , step - by - step ,and reversible at any time .
COMPLICATIONS OF DENTALANESTHESIA

These complications are subdivided into: Respiratory
cardio-vascular,
nausea& vomiting.
I - Respiratory complications:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
190/262
I - Airway obstruction: May be caused by the tongue or incorrect positioning
of the mouth prop or pack.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
191/262
2 - Mouth breathing:
Is another common problem produced by incorrectpositioning of the mouth prop and pack. Nasopharyngealairway should be inserted.
3 - Apnoea:Either due to breath - holding when anesthesia is too lightor true respiratory depression when anesthesia is too deep.
Apnoea due to excessive anesthesia is a seriouscomplication and the patient must be ventilated with 100%oxygen using a full face mask
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
192/262
4 - Laryngospasm:It is a serious complication, due to either surgical stimulation underlight anesthesia , or due to the presence of secretion or foreign matterin the larynx
It is important to increase the inspired oxygen concentnration ashypoxia will increase the degree of the spasm.
in severe laryngospasm , it may be necessary to administer oxygen under positive pressure using the mask or intubated
the larynx.5 - Bronchospasm: Less common complication, but may be seen in asthmatic patient
Pulmonry aspiration:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
193/262
May be caused by vomiting or regurgitation of thestomach contents, or blood and tooth debris. Correctpacking should be present for absolute safety , trachealintubation is necessary to protect the lungs and ensure
perfect airway during dental anesthesia.
II - Cardiovascular complications

II Cardiovascular complicationsAlthough respiratory problems are more common,
cardiovascular complications are more serious andmay be lethal, it explains the suddei. death occur inthe dental chair
Cardiac dysrrhythmia
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
195/262
Cardiac dysrrhythmia There is high incidence of cardiac dysrrhythmias
during general anesthesi for dental surgery.
Hypotension
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
196/262
Hypotension Venous return decreases and cardiac output
depressed , causing a significant drop in bloodpressure.
Other causes of hypotension at the end of surgery
include inadequate replacement of fluid deficits ,severe pain and gastric dilatation from gases oroxygen.
In the recovering patient who complain of chest
pain and persistent hypotension , myocardialinfarction must be anticipated untill ECG isobtained.
Cardiac arrest:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
197/262
Definition:
It is central circulatory and respiratory failure withinability of the heart to maintain adequate cerebral
circulation . The brain is more sensitive to hypoxiathan any other vital organ including the heat. It has alimited facility for anaerobic metabolism and can notstore oxygen.
.Etiology:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
198/262
The most common causes of cardiac arrest in the dentalpatients are:
hypoxia resulted from airway obstruction.
vagal reflexes.
Effect of anesthetic agents : either overdose or badtechniques.
Increase the circulatory catecholamines, especially ifthe patients is under halothane anesthesia.
Diagnosis
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry

201/262
g
Cardiopulamonary ressuscitation must be done as rapidas possible , in the following steps : A. Airway establishment: The patient rapidly be flat lying on his back. The operator places one
hand under the patients neck and the other hand on the forehead.Then the neck is raised and the head is tilted backwards. This will flexthe neck, extend the head and raise the tongue away from the back ofthe throat, leading to relieve of any anatomical obstruction of theairway.
If there is any suspect of foreign matter in the mouth or throat,clearance by using suction device.

Nausea & vomiting:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
209/262
Common problems after general anesthesia. They aredisturbing in outpatients, because they delaydischarge of the patients and may result in unplannedovernight hospital admissions.
The incidence of emesis is very low in infants andgradually increases with towards adulthood.
Risk factors that influence the incidence ofPONY.:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
210/262
Medical condition of the patient. Type of surgery. Anesthetics and analgesic medications. patients body habits. pregnancy, usually at the first trimester.
phase of menstrual cycle, most properly during the ovulatory and luteal phase of the cycle. Preoperative stress and anxiety. history of motion sickness. Obesity
Rotine use of prophylactic antiemetic medications is recommended insusceptible patients who have previous history of postoperativeVOmitiflg and in patients with any significant risk factors.
EMERGENCIES IN THE DENTALPRACTICE
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
211/262
The most important factor in the successfultreatment of medical emergencies is to beprepared for them.
Correct management of the emergency situation
can only follow a correct diagnosis.Very often no drugs are needed but in some
situations drug administration can be a lifesavingprocedure.
Better to give no drug than the wrong one.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
212/262
Medical history should be taken prior tocommencing treatment.
Where there is any doubt regarding the patientsstatus, the dentist should consult with the
patients medical practitioner. In cases where the medical condition may be
affected by the dental treatment or which mayaffect dental treatment, it may be necessary, inconjunction with the medical practitioner, toprovide instructions for the patient during theperiod of dental treatment.
Be alert for emergencies.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
213/262
Observe the patients reactions during treatment,particularly when drugs are administered.
Be familiar with signs and symptoms of variousemergencies which may occur.
Check emergency equipment and suppliesregularly to ensure that they are not out of dateand that all equipment is working properly.
Following an emergency, patients must not be
allowed to leave unaccompanied.
Epileptic Seizures
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
214/262
Epilepsy is a condition in which convulsive seizuresare recurrent, although not all recurrent convulsionsare due to epilepsy.
Symptoms can vary from almost imperceptible to the
dramatic loss of consciousness followed by paroxysmsof
tonic clonic seizures.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
215/262
Sometimes before a seizure , the person experiences anaura, which can be an unusual sensation, feeling,sound, smell, or urgent need for safety.
In Epilepsy, the aura can serve as a warning ofimpending attack and may give patient time to liedown.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
216/262
Stander seizures may seem to last a long time, mostactually only last from about one to three minutes. Thebody may become perfectly rigid
Breathing may become irregular or even temporarily stop.
The eyes may roll back until only the whites show. Fecal and urinary incontinence may occur.
More severe seizures may cause the victim to experiencesudden and uncontrollable tonic- clonic muscularcontractions that last several minutes.
Seizures are classified in to:
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
217/262
Generalized: arising from deep midline structures inthe brain stem or thalamus ,usually without aura orfocal features during the seizures.
Partial Focal : The initial discharge comes from a focalunilateral area of the brain and usually preceded byaura.
Epileptic seizures can arise from

discontinuation of sedative hypnotic drugs or alcohol. use of narcotics.
Uremia.
Traumatic injury.
Neoplasms. Infection.

and maintain the airway: reestablishing an air way ,
administrating oxygen,
ensuring adequate ventilation. Specific treatment is aimed at stopping the seizure
activity by the administration of anticonvulsantdrugs. Commonly employed anticonvulsants include
benzodiazepines and thiopenton sodium.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
221/262
After the seizure is over, the victim should be positioned onthe side to help blood and other fluids drain.
The individual may be drowsy and disoriented when theseizure is over and needs to rest.
Abnormal breathing sometimes experienced during theseizure will return to normal.
The victim should be examined and treated for non-life-threatening injuries incurred during the seizure.
Privacy and reassurance should be given.
Diabetic emergencies

The emergency conditions associated with diabetesinclude :
hypoglycemia, the most acutely life- threatening,
hyperglycemia.,
Management of hyperglycemic

No dental therapy should be performed whilediabetic hypergiycemia is suspected.
recognizing the condition and referring the patient
to a physician for evaluation and treatment. EMS should be called immediately for the
unconscious patient.
The patient should be placed in the supineposition and basic life support begun.
Hypoglycemia,
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
224/262
It is acute life-threatening condition. It can result from an insulin over dosage or failure
to maintain normal food intake, usually bydelaying or omitting meals.
It is generally manifested in patients receivinginsulin therapy, but has also been seen in patientstreated with oral hypoglycemic agents, althoughthe condition is less acute in such cases. Althoughsomewhat rare, it is also possible in a person whodoes not have diabetes.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
225/262
Hypoglycemia is a true immediate life-threateningcondition with acute onset and may rapidly progress toloss of consciousness. The first manifestations ofhypoglycemia are the result of diminished cerebral
function resulting from a lack of nutrition to braincells.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
226/262
Symptoms include decreased spontaneity ofconversation, inability to perform simplecalculations, lethargy, incoherence,
uncooperativeness, and mood changes.
A person experiencing diabetic hypoglycemia issometimes mistaken as being drunk or on drugs.Other symptoms may include hunger, nausea,increased gastric motility (growling stomach),sweating, tachycardia, piloerection (hair feels as ifit is standing on end) and cold and wet skin.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
227/262
Any diabetic patient who behaves in a bizarre manneror who loses consciousness should be managed as if hewere hypoglycemic. until proved otherwise since thiscondition is an immediate threat to life.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
228/262
A cooperative patient with signs and symptoms ofhypoglycemia should be given oral carbohydrates, such assugar or sugared drink. Recovery is usually rapid anddramatic.
When a person does not respond tocarbohydrates or willnot cooperate, a parenteral carbohydrate, such as glucagonor IV dextrose solution should be given. For unconsciouspatients immediately. Definitive management includesadministration of CHO by IV the most effective method.
Ischemic heart attack emergencies
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
229/262
When there is deficient arterial blood supply to aportion of the myocardium resulting indeprivation of oxygen and nutrition to the cells ofthe heart muscle. The lack of oxygen and nutrition
for a long enough period of time can cause cellularnecrosis resulted in Myocardial infarction (MI) orheart attack occurs
Angina pectoris occurs when there is a temporary
insufficient supply of oxygen to the heart muscle.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
230/262
The victim may describe the pain as a squeezing,heaviness, or a dull ache that lasts only from one to10 minutes.
A person with angina pain generally has had aprevious diagnosis of angina pectoris. Theseindividuals usually carry nitroglycerin to relievethe symptoms.
Vital signs are generally normal during an angina!episode.
Management of Angina
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
231/262
place the patient in a comfortable position and give his vasodilator, eithernitroglycerin tablet under the tongue, or nitrolingual spray.
Oxygen also may be administered. The symptoms should be relieved within two to three minutes. After the
episode passes, it is best to let the patient rest before continuing dental treatment or
reschedule for another day to continue. If the pain is not relieved, oxygen should be provided and the person assistedin taking a second dose of nitroglycerin. After waiting another two to threeminutes, a third dose may be administered if necessary.
No more than three sprays or three tablets should be administered within a 15-minute period.
three tablets should be administered within a 15-minute period. If pain is not
relieved in the known angina pectoris patient within 10 minutes, the AmericanHeart Association recommends that emergency care must be soughtimmediately
Myocardial Infarction
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
232/262
MI is of longer duration than angina and is characterizedby more intense pain.
The pain has been described as ranging from discomfort toa crushing substernal pain that can radiate to the shoulder,
arm, neck, or Jaw. Resting, changing position, or taking nitroglycerin does
not relieve the pain.
Often the victim has dyspnea, is short of breath, orbreathes noisily and faster than normal. The skin may be
pale, or cyanotic, and there may be sweating. Some victimsmay be nauseated and may vomit.
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
233/262
Since MI can lead to cardiac arrest, immediate recognitionand action are critical.
Once a heart attack victim goes into cardiac arrest, thechances of survival decrease.
Most deaths from Ml occur within the first two hours afterthe signs and symptoms occur.
The person should be assisted to rest as comfortably aspossible.
Vital signs should be monitored and preparation to giveCPR begun
Shock
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
234/262
Cause: Condition where not enough oxygen is reaching the cells
Manifestation (for all forms of shock): Skin is pale, cool, moist
Tachycardia Weak pulse, hypotension Rapid/shallow/gasping respiration Dilated pupils Complains of ringing in the ears / spots in front of eyes Nausea & vomiting Progression from restlessness to apprehension to disorientation to Unconsciousness
General Treatment
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
235/262

*Hemorrhagic Shock
*Cardiogenic shock
*Anaphylactic shock
* Neurogenic shock (Svncope)
Hemorrhagic Shock
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
237/262
Cause: Decreased blood volume due to: Hemorrhage from 2 sources: External: E.g.: tooth extraction, Internal: E.g.: ulcer, Severe loss of body fluids E.g.: vomiting, diarrhea, burns,
dehydration. Anticoagulant therapy. Manifestation: . obvious bleeding same as for general shock Treatment: Try to control bleeding. Direct pressure
Apply cold. Elevate the area of the body. Dentist can apply a hemostatic agent
Cardiogenic shock
7/27/2019 Anesthesia & Sedation in Dentistry
238/262
Cause: Myocardial infarction (heart attack) Heart failure Respiratory arrest/airway obstruction Manifestation:
General shock symptoms. Depends on specific cause: o Myocardial Infarction: persistent chest pain o Heart failure: Severe dyspnea (difficulty breathing) o Airway obstruction: Apnea (breathing stops and starts) Treatment: General shock treatment. Administer CPR. Call ambulance.
