Emergency medicine: beyond the basics



SF Malamed
Section of Anesthesis and Medicine, University of Southern California School of Dentistry, Los Angeles, 90089-0641, USA.

Medical emergencies can arise in the dental office. Preparedness for these emergencies is predicated on an ability to rapidly recognize a problem and to effectively institute prompt and proper management. In all emergency situations, management is based on implementation of basic life support, as needed. The author describes the appropriate management of two common emergency situations: allergy and chest pain.
