Today, I had a class with two different instructors but I think same scenario in some ways. I learned different things from each instructor: Mr. Rogers and Mr. Charles Rewald. I had another point of view when I finished my class on how important was to be prepared when an emergency is in front of you, and responded within seconds because those seconds can immediately change the patient’s lives forever. By having this class today with these instructors, I learned more about possible emergencies that we may not notice at the first minute, how a dental treatment can impact a patient, and how important is to have people highly prepared for this scenes.
The first time of class, I was with Mr. Rogers. I learned from this instructor that acute myocardial …show more content…
Also, I learned about the different between myocardial Infarction, angina, and embolus. Sometimes we confuse angina with myocardial infarction. For example, angina can happen when you are running and you are not getting enough oxygen to your body, and you feel pain in the chest, but as soon you stop running and rest for a couple of minutes, the person will go back to normal; however, with a myocardial infraction the pain does not go away. I also learned that when having a heart attack and the person who is with the patient administers aspirin, the patient should not swallow the pill; he or she has to chew the pill in order to take effect rapidly. On the other hand, Mr. Rewald showed us the simulation center. The simulation center has all the hospital requirements. It felt I was actually in the hospital and there were mannequins everywhere. Those mannequins could have a pulse and heart beat or have placed a catheter as Instructor Charles explained. In fact, nurse students can do more than fifty percent of their clinical in those simulator rooms. Moreover, I learned from the instructor about in hyperventilation the dental hygiene or anybody who works with patients has to …show more content…
I know that most dental hygiene patients have fears of the dental office and we, as future dental hygienists, have to help the patients to overcome those fear or at least find a way to make that time better. Making observations from head to the toe about any sign of a possible emergency, and if an emergency happened, then act right away because just in seconds the patient can have permanent damage for the rest of his or her
