CDS 831- Modes Of Delivery Study Set
Exam
3 levels of sedation (according to the degree of CNS depression): - Answer 1. conscious
sedation
2. deep sedation
3. general anesthesia
What are the main differences between conscious sedation, deep sedation, and general
anesthesia? - Answer conscious sedation is defined as a MINIMALLY depressed level of
consciousness that retains a patient's ability to respond appropriately to physical and
verbal commands
deep sedation is defined as a DEEPER depression of consciousness in which the patient
is not easily aroused and MAY experience partial loss of protective reflexes
general anesthesia is defined as a complete LOSS of consciousness, or a medically
induced coma, in which a patient WILL have loss of protective reflexes
What is the overall aim of using general anesthesia? (5) - Answer to ensure:
1. sleep
2. amnesia
3. analgesia
4. relaxation of skeletal muscles
5. loss of reflex control
5 levels of sedation (according to the AAPD): - Answer 1. mild
2. interactive
3. non-interactive/arousable
4. non-interactive/non-arousable
5. general anesthesia
According to the AAPD levels of sedation, what level (1-5) is conscious sedation? What
about deep sedation? - Answer conscious = level 3
deep = level 4
True or False: sedation techniques are pain-control techniques - Answer False
, True or False: a single method of sedation can be used universally for all patients -
Answer False
3 types of sedation techniques: - Answer 1. titrable
2. non-titrable
3. combination
2 examples of titrable techniques: - Answer 1. inhalation sedation
2. IV sedation
5 examples of non-titrable techniques: - Answer 1. oral sedation
2. rectal sedation
3. IM sedation
4. submucosal sedation
5. intranasal sedation
5 pre-requisites for offering sedation: - Answer 1. proper training
2. monitoring
3. documentation
4. emergency equipment/protocols in place
5. good patient selection
6. clear instructions to the parents/families
7 types of patients who should consider sedation: - Answer 1. young children
2. behaviorally challenged patients
3. medically challenged patients
4. patients undergoing stressful procedures
5. fearful patients
6. patients who gag
7. patients who have problems with local anesthesia
3 examples of "stressful procedures" that may indicate sedation: - Answer 1. third molar
exts
2. implant placement
