Emergency Medical Simulation Cases

Course overview

This hands-on course is designed to prepare dental professionals to recognize, manage, and respond confidently to medical emergencies that may occur in the dental setting. Participants will review the prevention, identification, and treatment of common emergencies including syncope, allergic reactions, asthma, hypoglycemia, seizures, cardiac events, airway obstruction, and medical complications related to sedation and local anesthesia. The course combines evidence-based instruction with interactive simulation training to reinforce critical decision-making and team communication skills. Through realistic emergency scenarios and high-fidelity simulation exercises, participants will practice patient assessment, emergency protocols, basic life support principles, use of emergency medications and equipment, and coordination of care until advanced medical services arrive. This program is ideal for dentists, hygienists, assistants, and office staff seeking to improve preparedness, enhance patient safety, and strengthen confidence in managing urgent medical situations in the dental office. Participants will leave with practical skills that can be immediately applied in clinical practice.
