MDDS Presents: HANDS-ON Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Administration Training
2023-12-02 08:00 - 16:00 | Mountain West Dental Institute
HANDS-ON Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Administration Training
Presented by Dr. Jeffrey Young
Anxiety and pain are two of the main obstacles to the acceptance of dental care. Appropriate administration and use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen can be a safe, effective means to alleviate mild to moderate fear and anxiety. In addition, it may diminish responses to pain and elevate pain threshold.
This course will provide an introduction to the pharmacology, mechanism of action and effects of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen. The goals of anxiolysis, including clinical applications, indications, advantages/disadvantages and biohazards of administration will be presented. The monitoring and recognition of potential complications will be discussed.
A review of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen equipment and technique for safe administration will be presented followed by a demonstration of the administration and use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen inhalation equipment in a dental clinic setting. Participants will then practice administration and monitoring using actual inhalation equipment.
This is a one-day course with approximately five (5) hours of classroom instruction followed by two (2) hours of clinical demonstration and practice. At the end of this course, participants will clearly understand the indications for use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen and be able to provide safe administration and monitoring.
Objectives

Discuss and understand the basic pharmacology and effects of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen
Review the anesthesia continuum and the Colorado State Board of Dentistry regulations regarding the administration and monitoring of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen in the dental office
Know the goals of anxiolysis including advantages and disadvantages of inhalation administration
Discuss indications and contraindications for safe administration of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen
Understand how to monitor patients and recognize potential complications of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen
Review the inhalation equipment used for administration of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen in dental offices
Become proficient in administration and monitoring of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen by practicing with inhalation equipment in a clinical setting
