PSEAM consists of Three parts

Part 1:
Pre-arrival Online Courses

Part 2:
In-Person Didactic Hands-On Training

Part 3:
Team Preparational Distance Learning

PSEAM:-
PSEAM is a two-year program for the dentist AND their staff! Team training is the key to handling a sedation/medical emergency. No one should die in a dental office!

Pre-Arrival Online Courses:-
Before your arrival you will receive several online courses that will need to be completed. These are Pediatric Medical/Sedation/Airway Emergencies and Sedation/Medical Emergency Drugs

In Person Didactic Program:-
consists of an all-day intense training. The dentist can choose Saturday or Sunday as their training day. The morning portion is dedicated to Sedation Emergencies for all our dentists. This will be recognizing and managing sedation emergencies, including but not limited to Respiratory Emergencies, Laryngospasm, Cardiac Events, Stroke/ Syncope, Seizures, and Anaphylaxis/Allergic Reaction. The afternoon portion is dedicated to Airway Management and Emergencies. The practitioner will be exposed to the airway hierarchy through advanced skills stations.

If the dentist requires PALS Renewal, this will take place on Friday 1-6 pm. This is an add-on additional cost option if dentists need to renew their PALS (American Heart Association Curriculum/Certification). Pre course required.

Then comes TPDL or Team Preparational Distance Learning.
The dentist and their staff will receive Mock Medical/Sedation Emergency Drills worth one hour of CE each. These mock drills can be done as soon as possible, or the team may spread them out over the two-year period. Upon completion of each mock drill, the participant will receive a CE certificate worth one hour. Please see below for the list of Mock Drills you and your team will receive. Other online courses for the staff will be:

  • Medical Emergency Workshop for the dental team
  • Sedation/Medical Emergency Drugs
  • Pediatric Medical/Sedation/Airway Emergencies

Once your staff has completed all the PSEAM courses and Mock Drills, they will receive their own PSEAM Certificate of completion.

Finally, the PSEAM Handouts. You will be provided with 13 handouts that are the blueprint for establishing medical/sedation emergency preparedness for your office. We recommend you assign one of your staff members as the PSEAM Safety officer. They will be responsible for making sure the implementation of these handouts takes place within the office.

You are receiving medical emergency mock drills because pediatric patients are brought to your office by adults.

When your two-year period is nearing its end, you will be notified of renewing again.
