Dental Traumatology Jul 08, 2019
Yee R, et al. - Researchers investigated in a paediatric emergency department (ED) the safety and efficacy of intramuscular ketamine sedation for the management of pediatric oro-dental trauma. To identify cases where intramuscular ketamine sedation was administered for dentists’ treatment of oro-dental trauma, the database of all paediatric procedural sedations conducted in the hospital ED from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2016, was assessed. Nineteen adverse events have been reported with the most common being emesis followed by transient desaturation and hypersalivation. Primary tooth luxation was the most common dental diagnosis. Primary teeth extraction was the most common dental treatment. The safety and efficacy of intramuscular ketamine sedation administered by trained ED doctors to facilitate the management of paediatric oro-dental trauma emergencies were supported in this analysis.
