Part I of Recognition and Management of Complications During Minimal and Moderate Sedation is an online course that will be available on ADA CE Online in the coming months. Part II, a hands-on workshop, will be held Oct. 28 and Oct. 29 at ADA Headquarters. Completion of Part I is required before taking Part II.
In 2008, the ADA Foundation awarded a grant to the Anesthesia Research Foundation of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology to develop the course for dentists as an alternative to Advanced Cardiac Life Support.
Watch for details, including information about the course faculty and registration, in the May 17 ADA News. For more information, contact Lois Haglund at haglundl@ada.org.
