The recovery process is a critical phase of pediatric sedation that requires careful monitoring and timely intervention to ensure patient safety. Led by Dr. Greg Walton, this course provides an in-depth look at post-sedation recovery in the dental office setting, covering key factors that influence the speed and quality of recovery. Participants will learn how to assess sedation depth, monitor airway function, recognize early signs of respiratory distress, and manage complications such as airway obstruction, nausea, and delayed emergence.
The course also emphasizes the importance of discharge criteria, ensuring patients meet all necessary benchmarks before leaving the office. Through case studies and real-world insights, dental professionals will gain the skills to optimize recovery, minimize risks, and ensure a smooth transition from sedation to home care for pediatric patients.
