Course Info

Practicing Safe and Effective Sedation for the Pediatric Patient
A very thorough look at the practice of sedation for the pediatric patient encompassing a number of parameters.

We will look at:

  • Patient Selection Criteria
  • Drugs and Drug Regimens
  • Alternatives for Sedation
  • Morbidity and Mortality 
  • Sedation Emergencies 
  • The Art Of Simulation 

At the end of this presentation the student will learn how to properly select a patient and sedate them is a safe manner, which will ensure safe discharge. At the learning experience we will also teach what can be done in the event a patient cannot be sedated. The student will have a thorough knowledge base in the art of simulation.

Cheers to Charlie

Our long-time advocate, voice, lobbyist and friend, Mr. Charles “Charlie” Schnabel, has announced his retirement with TAPD. Charlie has been at the forefront of pediatric dental issues for most of our careers and has helped create legislation that has impacted how we practice.

His guidance helped make our organization relevant at the Capitol and created a better future for the oral healthcare of the children of Texas. The TAPD will honor him this February 2019 with a retirement reception following our Lobby Day.
