Emergências médicas e protocolos medicamentosos na clínica odontológica: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The dental surgeon presents, in the practice of the profession, high chances of facing medical emergencies. Often the professional is not able to intervene and / or adopt medication protocols in the event of emergency events, requiring medical help. The objective of this work is to carry out a literature review about the main medical emergencies that may occur during dental clinic care, and to provide knowledge about the forms of prevention, intervention and drug protocols to be adopted. The research was carried out through books and databases, such as: SCIELO, BIREME, BVS, Periódicos Capes, Google Academic, and scientific journals. It is verified that there is a lack in the courses of odontology of Brazil of disciplines or classes directed to the theoretical-practical teaching of the medical emergencies. Professionals, for the most part, are thrown into the job market without knowledge about such events. It is known that the dental professional, when dealing with the patient, can put him at risk, and this risk increases if preventive measures are not taken if the patient has any health limitations. Therefore, the dental surgeon needs a theoretical and practical basis on medical emergencies, either while graduating, which would be ideal, and / or after graduation, to deal with emergency events that may occur during clinical care, and to be able to intervene.
