Summary of Sedation: A Guide to Patient Management

• Written by an acknowledged expert in the field, the book draws on a wealth of clinical experience and ability.
• Combines all aspects of sedation with essential theoretical and technical instruction.
• Techniques are divided into sections on pharmacology, armamentarium, and technique and complications - described in explicit detail that allows it to be used as a chairside reference.
• Pharmacosedation is covered in full, with discussions of oral, rectal, and IM premedication, as well as nine chapters on inhalation sedation and ten chapters on IV sedation.
• Covers all of the components required by the ADA guidelines: review of cardiovascular and respiratory physiology; selection of agents; techniques of administration; and management of complications and emergencies.
• Step-by-step descriptions of inhalation sedation (nitrous oxide and oxygen) and intravenous sedation provide a superb clinical "picture" of the procedures.
• Chapters on pediatric, geriatric and physically and medically compromised patients offer valuable, up-to-date information on the management of these special needs patients.
• In-depth discussions of the pharmacology of commonly used sedative agents allow the reader to fully understand properties and characteristics of drugs used.

• Content has been completely updated to include the most current drug dosage information.
• More information on recreational abuse of nitrous oxide reflects the current societal trends.
• The latest American Heart Association recommendations help prevent bacterial endocarditis.
• Increased emphasis on nitrous oxide/oxygen, as many dental hygienists are becoming certified to administer this form of sedation.
• New contributors lend credibility and experience to each topic discussed.
• Content outlines at the beginning of each chapter allow for quick reference of specific topics.
• Improved illustrations and photographs offer a fresh look, with high-quality art to aid in the visualization of techniques and procedures.
