Theoretical introduction to inhalational sedation

• Definition of sedation and its goals
• Differences between anesthesia and sedation

Mechanism of action of nitrous oxide

• Physical and chemical properties of nitrous oxide
• How nitrous oxide affects the body and its safety
• Indications for sedation
• Circumstances in which sedation should be avoided
• Patient assessment before the procedure
• Medical history and risk assessment (ASA classification)

Theoretical introduction to local anesthetics used in children:

• Preparations used for local anesthesia
• Dosage of anesthetics in children and age differences
• Anatomy and physiology of the nervous system
• Preparation and administration of anesthetics in children – anesthesia strategies
• Injection sites in children
• Overview of modern injection technologies

Pain management in children

• Available preparations
• Dosage adjusted to patient's weight and age
• Adverse effects

• The training prepares participants for the safe and effective use of inhalation sedation and local anaesthesia in children.

• Participants will learn techniques for inducing a state of deep relaxation in children using nitrous oxide, as well as the principles of titration and operation of the MasterFlux Plus device.

• An important element of the training will be working with the modern The Wand STA system, which, in combination with sedation, helps minimise stress, pain, and anxiety in young patients. The Wand STA and sedation go hand in hand, creating safe and comfortable conditions for dental treatment in children.
