ORSU-322 : Anesthesia and Minor Oral Surgery II

This course is sequential to the second year Anesthesiology and Minor Oral Surgery I lecture course. At this point in the third- year student's clinical and didactic experience, he/she should have developed an appreciation for the basic concepts and techniques of local anesthetic administration. An understanding of simple exodontia is also expected. The student is strongly advised to review material from the prerequisite and concomitant courses, as necessary. Throughout this course, it is anticipated that the student will strengthen an already firm foundation in proper evaluation of the surgical patient, including medical issues as well as efforts to avoid surgical complications. Various methods of pain control will also be introduced thus preparing the student for more advanced subsequent surgical instruction.
