12 Hour New York State Anesthesia Sedation Requirement Program

This program is designed for the general practitioner as well as all specialists. Everyone from the first year dental student, your receptionist to the veteran about to retire will benefit from this course. Today many of our patients treat their own anxiety by self-medicating themselves or expect us to offer them a magic pill. There is no simple solution but the clinician shows you how to be proactive and avoid serious complications. This program demonstrates, through case studies, how utilizing TLC, Nitrous Oxide, Alcohol, Anxiolysis, Oral and I.V. Sedation, can help and manage the apprehensive patient. We will also role-play and simulate dental office emergencies. A significant amount of time focuses on airway management by the solo operator or as a team member working with an anesthesiologist. Everyone participates in hands-on workshops with a variety of airway adjuncts to treat airway emergencies. Treating the apprehensive man, woman or child can be very rewarding. When managed properly they remain loyal for life andoften refer their friends and family. Everything from tender loving care to general anesthesia will be covered. Other courses teach you how to medicate, communicate and delegate. This course pulls it all together and satisfies the NYS mandated12 hour CE requirement in enteral, parenteral and I.V. sedation.
