Goldman: "Re: Office Anesthesia" Reply: Kim E. Goldman: "Re: Office Anesthesia" Check with your insurance carrier and do an anesthesia residency. Look out for aspiration, make sure your oxygen tank doesn't run out in the middle of the procedure, and know how to do a Nitrous washout before you start doing this. When I was a resident, we gave nitrous to our attendings patients for deliveries. We had an aspiration pneumonia, we had one lady turn blue because the O2 tank ran out and there was no valve in the room to open another tank. (I took the mask off and let her breathe room air. Luckily she was able to get by that way and didn't have problems from all the nitrous still in her system. I always wondered how those dentists got away with it.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
