			 Life Support. (3-28-23)

			 Hygienists Association. (3-28-23)

			 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (3-28-23)

CODA
. Commission on Dental
			 Accreditation. (3-28-23)
08.
Deep Sedation
. A drug-induced depression of consciousness during
			 which patients cannot be easily aroused but respond purposefully following
			 repeated or painful stimulation. The ability to independently maintain
			 ventilator function may be impaired. Patients may require assistance in
			 maintaining a patent airway, and spontaneous ventilation may be inadequate.
			 Cardiovascular function is usually maintained. (3-28-23)
09.
Enteral
. Administration of a
			 drug in which the agent is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract or
			 mucosa. (3-28-23)
10.
EPA
. United States Environmental Protection Agency.
			 (3-28-23)
11.
General
			 Anesthesia
. A drug-induced loss of consciousness during which patients
			 are not arousable, even by painful stimulation. The ability to independently
			 maintain ventilator function is often impaired. Patients often require
			 assistance in maintaining a patent airway, and positive pressure ventilation
			 may be required because of depressed spontaneous ventilation or drug-induced
			 depression of neuromuscular function. Cardiovascular function may be impaired.
			 (3-28-23)
12.
Inhalation
. Administration of a gaseous or volatile agent
			 introduced into the lungs and whose primary effect is due to absorption through
			 the gas/blood interface. (3-28-23)
13.
Local Anesthesia
. The
			 elimination of sensation, especially pain, in one (1) part of the body by the
			 topical application or regional injection of a drug. (3-28-23)
14.
Minimal Sedation
. A
			 minimally depressed level of consciousness that retains the patient's ability
			 to independently and continuously maintain an airway and respond normally to
			 tactile stimulation and verbal command. Although cognitive function and
			 coordination may be modestly impaired, ventilator and cardiovascular functions
			 are unaffected. In accord with this particular definition, the drugs and/or
			 techniques used should carry a margin of safety wide enough never to render
			 unintended loss of consciousness. Further, patients whose only response is
			 reflex withdrawal from repeated painful stimuli would not be considered to be
			 in a state of minimal sedation. (3-28-23)
15.
Moderate Sedation
. A
			 drug-induced depression of consciousness during which patients respond
			 purposefully to verbal commands, either alone or accompanied by light tactile
			 stimulation. No interventions are required to maintain a patent airway, and
			 spontaneous ventilation is adequate. Cardiovascular function is usually
			 maintained. (3-28-23)
16.
Monitor or Monitoring
. The direct clinical observation of a
			 patient during the administration of sedation by a person trained to observe
			 the physical condition of the patient and capable of assisting with emergency
			 or other procedures. (3-28-23)
17.
NBDE
. National Board Dental Examination. (3-28-23)
18.
NBDHE
. National Board Dental
			 Hygiene Examination. (3-28-23)
19.
Operator
. The supervising dentist or another person who is
			 authorized by these rules to induce and administer sedation.
			 (3-28-23)
20.
Parenteral
. Administration of a drug which bypasses the
			 gastrointestinal tract [i.e., intramuscular, intravenous, intranasal,
			 submucosal, subcutaneous, intraosseous]. (3-28-23)
21.
Sedation
. The administration
			 of minimal, moderate, and deep sedation and general anesthesia.
