  • <p>This four-hour anesthesia workshop for oral and maxillofacial surgery assistants allows for hands-on clinical training in assisting OMSs with the administration of anesthesia. Participants will rotate through multiple stations to include airway management; intubation; venipuncture; defibrillation; preparation of emergency drugs; and mini-code. Furthermore, registrants will be exposed to various airway adjuncts, critical cardiac dysrhythmias and defibrillation, and the use of the peak flow meter and glucometer. The course was been developed and is taught by members of the AAOMS Committee on Practice Management and Professional Allied Staff. Four hours of continuing education credit is provided.<br></p>
