Dentists responded to self-administrated questionnaires that contained 23 questions divided into five parts. The first part collected data on participants' sex, years of experience, and whether they are general dental practitioner (GDP) or specialists. The second part included seven questions that asked participants to indicate if they took medical history, obtained vital signs, and attended basic life support courses. The third part included six multiple choice questions regarding the availability of emergency drugs in the dental clinic. The fourth part consisted of three multiple-choice questions that assessed the dentists' immediate response to a medical emergency. Finally, the fifth part comprised four questions to evaluate the dentists' knowledge of proper treatment of special emergency cases they may encounter in the dental offices.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Out of the 97 participants, only 51% (N\u2009=\u200949) indicated that they can handle emergencies such as anaphylactic shock and syncope in the dental office. The majority of the dentists (80%) indicated that they have emergency kits. Only 46% of the specialists and 42% of the GDPs were able to correctly plan extractions in a patient with a prosthetic heart valve. Less than half of the participants (N\u2009=\u200935, 36%) were able to correctly answer the question regarding management of a foreign-body aspiration by attempting Heimlich\/Triple maneuver.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions\u2003Within the limitations of this study, dentists need further hands-on training to improve their skills and knowledge about medical emergencies that could occur in the dental settings. Furthermore, we recommend that guidelines should be available in the clinic to strengthen the dentists' ability to deal with medical emergencies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1755628","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,15]],"date-time":"2023-04-15T00:09:16Z","timestamp":1681517356000},"page":"749-755","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["A
