Dental Phases of General Anesthesia.*

New York, N. Y. Director of the Division of Dentistry, Department of Hospitals.

Abstract

THE FACTORS THAT DISTINGUISH anesthesia for oral and dental surgery from narcosis for abdominal or other phases of general surgery are: (1) The selection of an anesthetic suitable for safe use in a dental office. (2) The administration of the ministration of the gases under sufficient pressure to prevent their dilution by air inspired through the mouth. (3) The necessity for the use of mouth packs. (4) The need for maintaining an adequate carbon dioxid tension in the alveoli of the lungs. There are two inhalation gases that may be used with oxygen for prolonged anesthesia in oral surgery. These are nitrous oxid and ethylene. Both these gases have their definite advantages and disadvantages.
