S
edation for oral surgery adult patients can be challenging
depending from patients comorbidites and anesthetic
techniques. A strict cooperation between the surgical
team and the anesthesia specialist is therefore particularly
important. We present the main results from 1000 consecutive
patients operated in various dentists offices under light/
moderate sedation with the association of midazolam and
fentanyl. In order to maintain safety, criteria for the selection
of patients, preoperative and postoperative recommendations
and guidelines for monitoring should be followed according
to general and state regulations. Patient vital signs should
be monitored as per any surgical operating room, but all
equipment should be moved between offices under the
responsability of the attending anesthesiologst since dental
suites are generally lacking it. Examples of the material
used will be displayed. Adverse effects were classified under
haemodynamic or respiratory derangements (hypertension,
hypotension, bradycardia, tachycardia, desaturation, apnea);
these were always minor and easily corrected thanks to a
continuous dedicated surveillance.
