Abstract
Medical emergencies, sedation emergencies, and pediatric emergencies ARE going to happen in the dental office. You will face one of these in your practice lifetime. Will YOU be ready? Will YOUR staff be ready? You can be! Dedicate and devote the TEAM to regular mock emergency drill training! Mock emergency drills are conducted to prepare dentists AND their staff members for real emergencies by simulating various scenarios in a controlled environment BEFORE the actual emergency occurs. These drills help practice emergency response procedures, identify weaknesses in plans, and improve overall preparedness, ultimately minimizing potential damage and ensuring a more effective response during actual emergencies. You will NOT rise to the occasion when a patient emergency happens to you. You will SINK to the level of your training. You are either PREPARED or UNPREPARED for a medical emergency. There is no middle ground! Impending doom (unannounced medical emergency), coupled with the high-stakes environment and time urgency (loss of a patient), overwhelms and short-circuits the human mind, ultimately leading to situational paralysis (brain freeze). Thankfully, there are TWO ways to help combat this inherently human response to acute stress (medical or sedation or pediatric emergency), perhaps the most critical of which are planning: mock emergency drills and cognitive aids! If an adverse event OR negative outcome were to occur in your dental office, there will be many questions posed by many people, but the most important will be the ones you ask yourself. Could I, along with my staff, have done something differently? Could I, along with my staff, have been better prepared? A medical/sedation/pediatric emergency could be a career-defining or career-ending event. Don't miss this life-saving webinar where our goal is to build best practices which hopefully will lead to successful outcomes during a crisis by promoting the TEAM concept. Preparation is the key to life! Everybody deserves to go home!
