Dental Anesthesiology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies anesthesia and systemic management in dentistry, and emergency resuscitation.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for safe general anesthesia management that improves outcomes.
The Dental Anesthesiology Lab covers anesthesia and systemic management for oral surgery and for dental procedures in children and people with disabilities, as well as emergency resuscitation during dental treatment.
At Kyushu University Hospital, it works as the dental anesthesiology department, managing anesthesia for surgery, mainly resection of oral tumors and plastic surgery for cleft lip, jaw, and palate.
Alongside clinical work and research, the lab's policy is to train dentists who can manage patients' systemic condition.
The lab gives lectures on dental anesthesiology in the undergraduate program and supervises clinical research and other work in the graduate program.
Key terms
- Critical incident
- A serious incident that occurs during dental treatment. It may require emergency resuscitation for cardiac arrest or airway obstruction.
- Blind nasotracheal intubation
- A method of nasotracheal intubation, in which a tracheal tube is advanced through the nose into the trachea, performed by hand feel without laryngoscopy.
- Laryngoscopy
- A maneuver in which a laryngoscope lifts the epiglottis so that the glottis can be seen.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab pursues research useful in actual clinical practice, centered on perioperative anesthesia management and emergency resuscitation during dental treatment. It is also involved in anesthesia management for oral surgery and for dental procedures in children and people with disabilities.
*Illustrative imagePerioperative Glucose Management with an Artificial Pancreas
It has long been known that perioperative hyperglycemia worsens outcomes, but appropriate anesthesia management during surgery has received little study. The lab is examining whether glucose management using an artificial pancreas can improve outcomes.
*Illustrative imageEmergency Resuscitation During Dental Treatment
To prepare for critical incidents during dental treatment, the lab studies methods for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other procedures on a dental chair. Placing a stool under the backboard to stabilize chest compressions is recommended in the European Resuscitation Guidelines 2021.
*Illustrative imageReference Ranges of Blood Tests in Children
The lab investigates pediatric reference ranges from preoperative blood test results of children undergoing general anesthesia. Because specimens from healthy children are hard to obtain, it targets a population consisting largely of children without complications or medication history who receive general anesthesia for treatment such as dental caries.
*Illustrative imageSuccess Rate of Nasotracheal Intubation and Postoperative Effects
In patients undergoing nasotracheal intubation under general anesthesia, the lab investigates the success rate of blind nasotracheal intubation, performed by hand feel without laryngoscopy, and the risk of postoperative respiratory complications.
