Nitrous oxide administration

An ideal session for the dental practitioner who is new to nitrous oxide sedation, or an excellent refresher for those wanting to update their skills. This full-day course provides both the underpinning knowledge, as well as hands-on skills development, to enable safe and effective nitrous oxide sedation. Participants will have the opportunity to administer nitrous oxide and to experience the effects of nitrous oxide sedation for themselves. You will: - understand the relevant basic respiratory physiology, including the uptake and distribution of gases - understand the pharmacology, and physiology of nitrous oxide - recognise the indications, contraindications, and complications of nitrous oxide inhalation sedation - appreciate the legislative requirements around the delivery of nitrous oxide sedation - identify the characteristics of the different nitrous oxide/oxygen delivery systems and competently perform safety checks - implement a clinical protocol and technique for the use of nitrous oxide/oxygen sedation - deliver effective and safe nitrous oxide sedation.
