    NBDE PART II REVIEW MEDICALLY COMPROMISED PATIENT CARE

    Saravanan Ram DDS, MS


    Diplomat American Board of Orofacial Pain Diplomat American Board of Oral Medicine Assistant Professor of Clinical Dentistry Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC

    TOPICS
    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

    Bleeding problems Infective Endocarditis Hypertension and epinephrine use Diabetes Adrenal insufficiency and Steroid use Total joint replacement

    NEW CPR GUIDELINES!!


    30 compressions:2 breaths

    BLEEDING PROBLEMS
    Warfarin or Coumadin therapy, INR, PT and PTT Aspirin and Plavix therapy

    CLOTTING CASCADE, PT AND PTT


    Commonly used pathway? Extrinsic PT Warfarin or Coumadin Intrinsic PTT or aPTT - Heparin

    INR INTERNATIONAL NORMALIZED RATIO


    All results are standardized using the international sensitivity index for the particular thromboplastin reagent and instrument combination utilized to perform the test. For example, a person taking the anticoagulant ("blood thinner") warfarin (brand name: Coumadin) might optimally maintain a prothrombin time (PT) of 2 to 3 INR. No matter what laboratory checks the prothrombin time, the result should be the same even if different thromboplastins and instruments are used. Must be measured within 24 hours before the procedure

    Source: Little and Fallace

    QUESTION 1
    Your 60 year old female patient who is on Warfarin needs extraction of #30. Her INR on the day of the surgery is 4.0. What should you do? A. Postpone surgery and decrease Warfarin dose until INR becomes 3.0 B. Perform the surgery C. Perform the surgery with local hemostatic measures D. Avoid local anesthetics and perform surgery under general anesthesia.

    GUIDELINES FOR WARFARIN THERAPY


    The weight of evidence in the dental clinical literature does NOT support the long-held belief that an oral anticoagulant regimen must be altered or discontinued before most dental procedures, including oral surgery. Minor dental surgical procedures can safely be carried out with the INR within the therapeutic range of 2.0 to 4.0 when local hemostatic measures are used to control bleeding. INR values greater than 4.0, however, contraindicate a patient undergoing a surgical procedure without consultation with the physician.

    QUESTION 2
    Your 68 year old patient is on clopidogrel to prevent blood clot formation. You need to extract #14, 15 and 16. Would you: A. Discontinue the clopidogrel B. Obtain the bleeding time C. NOT discontinue clopidogrel D. Obtain platelet function tests

    GUIDELINES FOR ASPIRIN OR CLOPIDOGREL (Plavix) THERAPY


    Current research shows that patients on either Aspirin or Clopidogrel should NOT have the dose altered prior to dental procedures. Aspirin or Clopidogrel should NOT be discontinued prior to dental surgical procedures. If patient takes both Aspirin and Clopidogrel then they should be referred to a dental hospital or hospital based oral surgeon

    INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS

    WHY THE NEW GUIDELINES?


    The risk of adverse reactions to antibiotics outweigh the benefits of prophylaxis for most patients. Concern about the development of drug-resistant bacteria also was a factor. Also, the data are mixed as to whether prophylactic antibiotics taken prior to a dental procedure prevent IE. People who are at risk for IE are regularly exposed to oral flora during basic daily activities such as brushing or flossing, suggesting that IE is more likely to occur as a result of these everyday activities than from a dental procedure.

    WHO SHOULD BE PREMEDICATED?


    artificial heart valves a history of infective endocarditis a cardiac transplant that develops a heart valve problem the following congenital (present from birth) heart conditions:* unrepaired or incompletely repaired cyanotic congenital heart disease, including those with palliative shunts and conduits a completely repaired congenital heart defect with prosthetic material or device, whether placed by surgery or by catheter intervention, during the first six months after the procedure any repaired congenital heart defect with residual defect at the site or adjacent to the site of a prosthetic patch or a prosthetic device

    FOR WHAT PROCEDURES SHOULD THE PATIENT BE PREMEDICATED?


    Prophylaxis is recommended for all dental procedures that involve manipulation of gingival tissue or the periapical region of the teeth, or perforation of the oral mucosa.

    QUESTION 4
    Maria has a previous history of infective endocarditis and requires an intraligamentary injection for #15. Should you premedicate? A. Yes B. No

    ANTIBIOTIC REGIMEN

    Cephalosporins should NOT be used in a person with a history of anaphylaxis, angioedema or urticaria with penicillins or ampicillin Source: JADA

    QUESTION 5
    Mr. Kato needs antibiotic prophylaxis but forgot to take his medication today. Your new associate failed to check with the patient and started the subgingival placement of antibiotic fibers and strips. What should you do?
    A. Yell and swear at your associate! B. Stop all procedures and reschedule the patient C. Say a prayer and cross your fingers! D. Premedicate immediately

    "If the dosage of antibiotic is inadvertently not administered before the procedure, the dosage may be administered up to two hours after the procedure."

    OTHER SITUATIONS:
    Coronary artery stents? Antibiotic prophylaxis for dental procedures is not recommended for patients with coronary artery stents Patient is already on Penicillin? Select an antibitoic from another class rather than to increase the dose of the currently administered antibiotic. For example, if a patient is already taking amoxicillin, the dentist should select clindamycin, azithromycin, or clarithromycin for IE prophylaxis.

    HYPERTENSION AND EPINEPHRINE USE


    Alpha 1 Peripheral arterioles Vasoconstriction Alpha 2 act in concert with alpha 1 Beta 1 Heart Increase cardiac output and heart rate Beta 2 Skeletal muscle arterioles cause vasodilation Epinephrine is a potent stimulator of alpha and beta receptors

    HYPERTENSION AND EPINEPHRINE USE GUIDELINES


    Reported risk of adverse events with epinephrine use in local anesthetics is minimal! Risk for adverse events among uncontrolled hypertension is low 1 to 2 cartridges of 1:100,000 epinephrine is safe in most hypertensive patients Avoid epinephrine use in uncontrolled or severe hypertension Avoid gingival retraction cords with epinephrine for all cases of hypertension. Alternatives cord soaked in A. Tetrahydrozoline, or B. Oxymetazoline or C. Phenylephrine

    TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT ANTIBIOTIC PROPHYLAXIS GUIDELINES


    Antibiotic prophylaxis guidelines for patients who have a total joint replacement were updated by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) in 2009.

    ALWAYS CONSIDER PREMEDICATION FOR ALL TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT PATIENTS PRIOR TO ANY INVASIVE DENTAL PROCEDURES! Guidelines may change in 2011.

    Source: AAOS and ADA

    TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT ANTIBIOTIC PROPHYLAXIS GUIDELINES


    Procedures (Same applies for Infective Endocarditis cases):
    dental extractions; periodontal procedures, including surgery, subgingival placement of antiobiotic fibers/strips, scaling and root planing, probing, recall maintenance; dental implant placement and replantation of avulsed teeth; endodontic (root canal) instrumentation or surgery only beyond the apex; initial placement of orthodontic bands but not brackets; intraligamentary and intraosseous local anesthetic injections; prophylactic cleaning of teeth or implants where bleeding is anticipated. The current statement notes that "patients with pins, plates and screws, or other [orthopedic] hardware that is not within a synovial joint are not at increased risk for hematogenous seeding by microorganisms."
