    Consent for Anesthesia Services

  •  The following is provided to inform patients and parents about having treatment under anesthesia. The information is not presented to make you more apprehensive, but rather to enable you to better understand the risks and benefits involved with anesthetic treatment.

    I hereby authorize and request any Dentist Anesthesiologist represented with Bay Anesthesia Group to administer anesthesia as previously discussed with me. I understand and agree that procedures not talked about, but deemed necessary for myself/my child's well-being, may be performed to supplement the planned anesthesia. It has been explained to me that all types of anesthesia, although safe, involve some risks and no guarantees can be made concerning results. Serious complications are very rare. The following are complications that may be associated with the anesthetic treatment:

    Common complications:

    • Pain and/or bruising at the IV site
    • Sore throat and/or hoarseness
    • Muscle aches
    • Nausea and/or vomiting

    Uncommon complications:

    • Headache
    • Injuries to lips or teeth from airway instruments or devices
    • Unexpected drug reaction
    • Infection at intravenous site and veins nearby
    • Bleeding/injury in the nose due to passage of a breathing tube
    • Lung infection
    • Eye injury or infection
    • Weakness in breathing after awakening
    • Nerve damage

    Rare complications:

    • Heart injury
    • Brain damage or death

    The administration and monitoring of general anesthesia may vary depending on the type of procedure, the type of practitioner, the age and health of the patient, and the setting in which anesthesia is provided. Risks may vary with each specific situation. You are encouraged to explore all the options available for your/your child's anesthesia for dental treatment, and consult with your dentist or physician as needed.

    www.bayanesthesiagroup.com

  • Alternative options to deep sedation/general anesthesia have been discussed with me and may include the use of local anesthesia with nitrous oxide sedation or local anesthesia alone.

    All sedation and anesthesia patients must be accompanied to and from the appointment by a responsible adult. The responsible adult should remain in the office during the appointment unless authorized by the practitioner. For the safety of the patient, the responsible adult must remain in the designated waiting area during treatment time. Office staff will escort the responsible adult back to the treatment area once the anesthesiologist deems it is safe, to be present for recovery. Upon release, the patient must be driven home by the responsible adult (public transportation or cabs are not acceptable).

    I confirm that myself/the patient has not had anything to eat (other than indicated medications with water) for at least seven (7) hours prior to anesthesia, and only clear fluids were consumed up to two (2) hours prior to anesthesia.

    I certify that to the best of my knowledge, myself/the patient is not pregnant or trying to become pregnant.

    I have read and agreed to the Notice of Privacy Practices/HIPAA agreement posted on our website www.bayanesthesiagroup.com.

    I consent to the anesthesia deemed appropriate by my Dentist Anesthesiologist. I acknowledge that I have read this form or had it read to me and that I understand the risks, alternatives and expected results of the anesthetic plan of care.

    PRE-ANESTHESIA INSTRUCTIONS FOR PEDIATRIC PATIENTS

  • We are here to provide a comfortable experience before, during and after your child's treatment. These instructions are designed with your child's safety and wellbeing in mind.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

    9 or More Hours Before the Procedure

    Your last meal must be completed at LEAST 9 hours prior to your appointment. For most patients, this meal is dinner. Any dinner foods you would normally enjoy are permitted. Examples would be: meat, eggs, bread and pasta.

    7 or More Hours Before Procedure:

    A Light Meal is permitted but may ONLY include the following: Fruits, vegetables, apple sauce, yogurt, milk, oatmeal, cereal, toast, clear broth, plain rice and baby formula.

    **If Your Child's appointment is scheduled in the Afternoon or Early Evening: We highly encourage your child to hydrate with Clear Fluids or Jell-O up to 2 hours before their procedure time!

    ** PLEASE REFER TO THE EATING & DRINKING GUIDELINES BEFORE ANESTHESIA FOR DETAILED INFORMATION**

    Escort: All sedation and anesthesia patients must be accompanied to and from the appointment by a responsible adult. The responsible adult should remain in the office during the appointment unless authorized by the practitioner.

Upon release, the patient must be driven home by the responsible adult (public transportation or cabs are not acceptable).

    Clothing and makeup: Casual and comfortable clothing, with short sleeves, and in two pieces, is recommended for easier and more effective placement of monitors.

Do not wear fingernail polish or use moisturizer on your trunk and arms on the day of the appointment. For children, a change of clothes is recommended.

    Change in health: A change in your health, especially the development of a cold or fever, is very important. For your safety, you may be rescheduled for another day. Please inform the doctor of any change in your health prior to your appointment.

    School & Day Care: Patients should be kept home from School or Day Care on the day of their procedure in order to ensure they have abided by the strict food & drink guidelines for their procedure. This is imperative to their safety under anesthesia.

    After surgery and anesthesia, please be prepared to have a responsible adult caregiver for the remainder of the day. Rest at home and avoid driving, hazardous tasks, making any important decisions, and working for at least 24 hours.

    POST-OPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PEDIATRIC PATIENTS UNDERGOING GENERAL ANESTHESIA

  • Your child has undergone general anesthesia in addition to dental procedures today. Please read and follow the instructions listed below for the remainder of the day to maximize safety for your child.

    1. Do not leave your child unattended for the next 6 to 8 hours. The medication your child has received today may continue to have lasting effects THAT MAY VARY for this time period. Although your child has met adequate discharge criteria before leaving the dental office, occasionally factors such as food intake, changes in environmental stimulation, resolution of pain and other factors may cause your child to be somewhat sleepy or uncoordinated. Check on your child periodically if he/she falls asleep. It is normal for a child to want to rest for the remainder of the day, however, it is important to be extra attentive that your child's head position facilitates ease of breathing. This means your child's chin should not be dropped down to the chest, as this may obstruct the airway.

    2. Do not allow your child to participate in physically demanding activities (sports, etc). Although your child may appear to be fully awake and alert and requesting to participate in such activities, coordination and the ability to react and respond during physical activity may continue to be impaired and lead to unintended injuries.

    3. It is recommended that clear liquids are given or offered as soon as possible as your child requests and tolerates it. Other liquids and food should be advanced as the child tolerates it. Sometimes, your child may vomit or become nauseous as food and liquid are given. If this occurs, rest, and resume with clear liquids. Encourage as much fluid intake as possible throughout the day as this will help your child recover from the medications he or she has received. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR CHILD NOT BECOME DEHYDRATED. The lasting effects of the medications combined with a state of dehydration is a dangerous situation.

    4. Pain control strategies will have been discussed prior to discharge. It is important to follow these instructions carefully. Typically, over the counter acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) are okay to consume as directed by the manufacturers recommendations as needed for pain.

    5. As long as your child's mouth is still numb from the local anesthetic you should not give hot beverages or hard food. Similarly, watch for lip/cheek/tongue biting or picking around the mouth. The patient may not feel that s/he is traumatizing the tissues of the mouth and an ulcer could develop. The numbness generally lasts 3-4 hours.

    ***********************************************************

    Your anesthesiologist's direct phone number is listed below. If they cannot be reached, you can call our 24-hour line and follow the prompts to connect with our on-call doctor. Please call if any of the following are observed:

    Confirmation of Receipt of Pre-Operative Instructions and Guidelines

I further understand that arriving after our scheduled procedure time may result in the cancellation or rescheduling of the appointment, and may result in the forfeiture of my paid deposit.

    Lastly, I understand anesthesia fees are DUE IN FULL on the day of the procedure, and will be automatically charged to the same card used for my deposit, unless prior arrangements are made.I authorize Bay Anesthesia to submit payment to my credit card for any remaining balance due, on or after the date of service, until the balance is paid in full.

  • Eating and Drinking Guidelines Before Anesthesia



    Please follow the guidelines outlined below before your child's/your procedure to ensure an empty stomach at the time of anesthesia. If the stomach is not empty at the time of anesthesia, stomach contents can enter the airway, make their way to the lungs (called aspiration) and can cause serious health complications and lung scarring.
     
     
     

    **No gum, candy or mints on the day of your appointment

    For any questions about the Eating and Drinking Guidelines, please contact us by phone or text at 650-282-4171. We are happy to provide you with detailed instructions based on your appointment time, provided by your dental provider. You may also use our online calculator to help determine what time you will need to begin fasting.
