Please join us as we celebrate our
26th Annual James P. Hollers Memorial Lectureship
Lecture Course
Emergency Medicine in Dentistry
Stanley F. Malamed, D.D.S.
OVERVIEW
Life-threatening emergencies can occur anytime, any-where and to anyone. Such situations are somewhat more likely to occur within the confines of the dental office due to the increased level of stress which is so often present. In this course Dr. Malamed will discuss the areas which are considered vital to a proper understanding of emergency medicine: prevention, preparation, and recognition and management.
This will include a discussion of preparation involving the office and staff and includes a thorough review of the office emergency kit (drugs and equipment). Additionally, it will include the recognition and management of specific emergency situations and includes the management of unconciousness, respiratory distress, seizures, drug-related emergencies, and chest pain. This course is designed for all members of the dental office staff, not just the doctor and chairside personnel. Situations discussed here can happen outside of the dental environment as well as in the office.
EVERYONE SHOULD BE PREPARED!
It is strongly recommended that ALL members of the dental office staff attend this program.
