Many of these drugs are available in prefilled syringes. It is the responsibility of the dentist to ensure the availability of the drugs required by the medical staff who may be called to deal with an emergency. Equally, it is the responsibility of the same medical staff to advise the dental surgeon of his or her precise require#ments with regard to emergency drugs. This advice must be in writing. Dental surgeons and their staff should at least be capable of providing basic life support: i.e. Airways. Breathing, Circulation (ABC). These can be reviewed by rending the European Resuscitation Council guidelines for basic mach advanced life support .
