Oral Surgery Patient Safety Concepts in Anesthesia.

Oral Surgery Patient Safety Concepts in Anesthesia. Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2018 May;30(2):183-193 Authors: Robert RC, Patel CM Abstract An effective office emergency preparedness plan for the oral and maxillofacial surgery office can be developed through the use of well-designed checklists, cognitive aids, and regularly scheduled in situ simulations with debriefings. In order to achieve this goal, the hierarchal culture of medicine and dentistry must be overcome, and an inclusive team concept embraced by all members of the staff. Technologic advancements in office automation now make it possible to create interactive cognitive aids. These enhance office emergency training and provide a means for more rapid retrieval of essential information and guidance during both simulations and a real crisis.
