New anesthesia rules recently became effective and expand services. The changes include the ability of  Florida licensed dentists without an anesthesia permit  who have completed a minimum of four hours of training in airway management to perform dental treatment on a patient who has been sedated by an anesthesia permit holder in the office of the permit holder. This training must be repeated every four years from the date the course was last taken by the dentist. 

This course fulfills those requirements.

Refer to the letter mailed to anesthesia permit holders on March 21, 2013, and rules 64B5-14.0032, 64B5-14.0034,  64B5-14.0036, and 64B5-14.004 F.A.C. for the full text. www.flrules.org.

Course Description

Any dentist performing sedation or providing care to a sedated patient should be able to provide airway management and ventilation for a patient encountering respiratory distress. The goal of the basic airway course is to educate the practitioner in basic airway assessment via history and physical assessment of the patient and to review relevant anatomy, physiology and equipment. The practitioner will learn the motor skills necessary to initiate basic airway management with regards to relieving obstruction, insertion of airway adjuncts, mask ventilation, and intubation. Motor skills will be developed under supervision utilizing simulation. Participants will complete a post-course evaluation of their airway skills.
