ASA Endorses Joint Statement Opposing the OMS Pediatric Anesthesia Team Model
ASA Endorses Joint Statement Opposing the OMS Pediatric Anesthesia Team Model We learned late last week the American Society of Anesthesiologists has partnered with three other organizations to publish a document concerning its recommendations for personnel when pediatric anesthesia is administered in a dental office. The document – titled Joint Statement from the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia, the American Society of Dentist Anesthesiologists, and the Society for Pediatric Sedation Regarding the Use of Deep Sedation/General Anesthesia for Pediatric Dental Procedures Using the Single-Provider/Operator Practice Model – has been published today on the ASA website. AAOMS has always had a close relationship with the ASA, so our leadership was taken by surprise when we learned of the new joint statement. The AAOMS Board of Trustees is currently evaluating the optimal response to this statement. AAOMS Board of Trustees
