Abstract
Although general previous termanaesthesianext term is used to reduce the pain and anxiety associated with dental treatment, most dental procedures can be managed with good local previous termanaesthesia,next term with or without conscious sedation. Since the 1960s there has been a progressive fall in the use of general previous termanaesthesianext term for previous termdentistrynext term and in the mortality associated with it. However, between 1996 and 1999, eight people died as a result of dental previous termanaesthesia,next term five of them were children. Investigations and inquiries into these deaths were critical of the standard of care provided in areas such as preoperative assessment, perioperative monitoring, resuscitation and transfer to a critical care facility. In response to these concerns, the General Dental Council (GDC), the Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCA) and the Department of Health (DOH) have issued closely linked guidelines for standards of care in dental general previous termanaesthesia.next term Since 1 January 2002, general previous termanaesthesianext term for previous termdentistrynext term has been confined to a hospital setting with critical care facilities. This article summarizes the guidelines, with particular reference to the status of the anaesthetist, the indications for general previous termanaesthesia,next term patient referral and assessment, the definition of a hospital setting, peroperative monitoring and resuscitation, and management of the emergency; it also reviews the technique of dental previous termanaesthesianext term in current use.
