Cardiac arrest in the dental surgery.
A 78-year-old male patient suffered a cardiac arrest in the waiting room of a dental surgery. He was successfully resuscitated and subsequently returned to complete his treatment. This would appear to be the first published report of such an emergency being successfully treated by a dental team in the community using advanced life support techniques.
