Actions and Algorithms for Medical Emergencies: How to Save a Life (Including Your Own) There are more medically compromised patients coming to our offices than ever before. Acquire “up to the minute” actions for dealing with a medical emergency while challenging preconceived or outdated ideas.

Daniel Pompa, DDS – Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, ADA Consultant discusses the prevention, preparation, recognition and management of medical emergencies.

A step-by-step medical approach using basic physical diagnostic methods is reviewed, giving the attendee a clear understanding of these medical findings. We will explore the “Conversational History” and how it will uncover medical issues not revealed by the standard health history form. Additionally, the participant will learn simple, non-invasive critical tests that can reduce overall risks. We clearly delineate indications for emergency drug use and proper dosages as well as demonstrate how to assemble and maintain an ideal emergency drug kit. The newest techniques for drug administration will be shown for participants to hone their skills utilizing simulation models and real drugs.

We will also review the legal and moral obligations that are presented during a medical crisis.
