This presentation will begin with a review of the continuum for various levels of procedural sedation used in the pediatric dental office setting. The focus will shift to identifying qualified candidates for each modality in an ambulatory setting with an emphasis on patient assessment and preparation. Considered techniques will include nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, intramuscular moderate sedation, intravascular moderate sedation, and deep sedation/ general anesthesia. A review of post-procedural patient management and discharge criteria will also be discussed. The information will then be reinforced using actual clinical scenarios, including the opportunity for attendee participation and questions.
