Isolite and Dental Treatment Under Conscious Sedation

Isolite and Dental Treatment Under Conscious Sedation: a Pilot Study to Assess the Upper Airway in a Pediatric Population

Hypothesis

The use of Isolite® system does not produce upper airway obstruction in the pediatric population during dental treatment with conscious sedation.

Purpose:

Report the changes in airway patency and pediatric patient's behavior when Isolite® system is used for dental treatment with conscious sedation.

Objectives:

1. Determine changes in pulse rate
2. Determine changes in SpO2
3. Recognize breath sound's changes possibly associated with airway blockage
4. Evaluate if the isolite® system is well tolerate by the pediatric population for dental treatment under conscious sedation
5. Relate the use of Isolite® with the frequency of head reposition to open the airway.

Report the changes in airway patency and pediatric patient's behavior when Isolite® system is used for dental treatment with conscious sedation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• ASA I (no systemic disease), ASA II (mid systemic disease-well controlled)
• 4-7 years of age
• Patients English and Spanish speaking

Exclusion Criteria:

• Upper airway infection
• Craniofacial anomalies
