Review Course in Minimal Enteral (Oral) Sedation (Level 1 Sedation)

Lecture Course

November 30, 2018

Course overview

This course is designed to satisfy the Texas Dental Board requirement for continuing education in minimal enteral sedation (required every 2 years for level 1 minimal sedation permit holders). This course does not qualify a dentist to apply for a new minimal sedation permit. Individuals who complete the course will receive a certificate, which can be submitted to the TSBDE as documentation of continuing education in minimal sedation.


Objectives

At the end of this course, the participant will have a renewed understanding of the many elements of the safe administration of enteral conscious sedation including:

  • Spectrum of sedation and the limits of enteral sedation
  • Patient evaluation and appropriate patient selection with an emphasis on recognizing patients at high risk of complications
  • Pharmacology of sedative agents including drug interactions and appropriate selection for patients with differing medical conditions
  • Appropriate use, limitations of and interpretation of monitors
  • Management of urgencies and emergencies especially as they pertain to minimal sedation
  • Rules and Regulations of the TSBDE on the administration of minimal enteral sedation
