Anesthesia Monitoring in the Dental Environment

We have noticed some trends/changes since the new year (2017) started. One of those changes directly affects our customer base and the dentistry industry.

More specifically, the ADA recommends changes to end-tidal CO2 monitoring during moderate and deep sedation. Their main objective is always patient safety and these new recommendations allow the ADA to further these ideals.

New Sedation Anesthesia Guidelines

Understanding the inherent risks involved in using complex technology, the AAMI and their diverse group of experts are striving to diagnose, monitor and treat patients by promoting practices that address:

Since 2014, the Foundation has established four other patient safety initiatives that focus on infusion therapy, clinical alarm management, continuous electronic monitoring of patients and home health infusions.
