Entering Anesthesia

Overview

This article goes over how to record anesthesia that the patient was given in TDO. 

Detailed Instructions

There are buttons to open the Anesthesia page both on the Treatment page as well as the Prescription page. 

The anesthesia information is filled out by the dental assistant as the doctor is actually giving the anesthetic. Recorded are the kind of anesthesia, the type of injection used, the amount given, and the date and time administered.

You can customize all of these lists by pressing on the + button or by right clicking and selecting Edit List.

There is also a way to auto populate this form as well, if you routinely give the same kind and amount of anesthesia.  The Anesthesia Autofill feature fills in the anesthesia, type, quantity, and date all at once. You can customize this auto fill routine from the Anesthesia Autofill options  To use an autofill, select it from the combo box and click the arrow button. 

There is also a bulk anesthesia entry if you frequently give the same multiple injections - for example, a mandibular block and a long buccal injection. These are customized in Anesthesia Explosion Groups. To use an explosion autofill, select it from the combo box (the combo box to the right of the individual autofill) and click the arrow button. 

The other part of this form documents the Nitrous Oxide parameters, if needed. The form is a pop up and is self-explanatory.
