SAFE: Sedation Attitudes to Forestall Emergencies

Sedation Attitudes to Forestall Emergencies acronymed SAFE conveys that clinicians should develop an attitude, respecting the ground rules governing the safe practice of sedation to prevent emergencies. The first part of the chapter elaborates on these ground rules. The latter part of the chapter specifically explains the management of sedation-related emergencies. It also gives a list of the emergency equipment and drugs recommended by the authors, suitable for a dental office practicing minimal/moderate sedation in children.
