Medical emergencies: are you prepared?
Billy Tyne sailed ill-equipped directly into a "perfect storm" at the cost of his boat, his crew, and his life. As a profession, we must not allow our own hubris to ignore the challenges that we are now facing: increasingly complex medical histories, more patients desiring sedation treatment, and more dentists expanding their scope of clinical services. Sadly, a nationally recognized set of guidelines has yet to be adopted. In the meantime, each member of the profession must be prepared to properly respond to any medical crisis that may occur in the dental office. The 6 links of survival provides a solid basis to meet that need.
