This paper reviews three recent decisions of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council on appeal from decisions of the Professional Conduct Committee of the General Dental Council, in which questions of general anaesthesia, sedation and resuscitation were raised. The recommendations of the Poswillo Report on general anaesthesia, sedation and resuscitation in dentistry of March 1990 are considered with respect to these three cases, and an assessment made as to whether or not the incidents which gave rise to them would have occurred had the recommendations been implemented. The implications of the Poswillo Report for the maintenance of professional standards of conduct by the General Dental Council in relation to the use of general anaesthesia, sedation and resuscitation are discussed.
本文回顾了枢密院司法委员会最近就英国普通牙科委员会专业行为委员会的裁决提出上诉的三项决定，其中涉及全身麻醉、镇静和复苏的问题。针对这三起案件，考虑了1990年3月波兹维洛报告中关于牙科全身麻醉、镇静和复苏的建议，并评估了若这些建议得以实施，引发这些案件的事件是否还会发生。同时讨论了波兹维洛报告对普通牙科委员会在全身麻醉、镇静和复苏使用方面维持专业行为标准的影响。
