What Are the Medical Emergencies in Dental Practice?
摘要
A medical emergency is a medical condition that requires immediate attention. Although rare, it can occur when attending the dentist. Medical emergencies that can occur in dental practices include vasovagal syncope, angina, hypoglycaemia, epileptic seizures, choking, asthma, anaphylaxis, and cardiac arrest. The dental team takes a thorough medical history assessment to minimise the risk of a medical emergency. The patient will also need to disclose all their medical information.
