OBJECTIVE
Anaphylaxis is one of the local anesthetic dental emergencies that lead to morbidity and mortality. Hence, this study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude of dental practitioners in Chennai toward managing anaphylaxis in patients who are given local anesthesia.
PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS
Seventeen questions were formulated regarding anaphylaxis reactions and its treatment. The questions were given to a random selection of dentists practicing in private clinics in Chennai.
RESULTS
Two hundred dentists responded to the questionnaire. The results indicated that the majority of the participants had knowledge of one or more symptoms relating to anaphylaxis. However, none of the participants demonstrated that they knew about all symptoms relating to anaphylaxis. The results also did not vary with age. Only 62% of the dentists surveyed were equipped with emergency kits in their clinic.
CONCLUSION
The present study has revealed the lack of knowledge among dentists in Chennai in relation to anaphylactic reactions and its management. Knowledge of practicing dentists in this area can be increased by providing continuing education programs consisting of workshops and hands-on courses.
目的
过敏反应是导致发病和死亡的局部麻醉牙科急症之一。因此，本研究旨在评估钦奈牙科从业者对接受局部麻醉患者过敏反应管理的知识和态度。
参与者与方法
针对过敏反应及其治疗制定了17个问题。这些问题被随机发放给在钦奈私人诊所执业的牙医。
结果
200名牙医回复了问卷。结果表明，大多数参与者了解一种或多种与过敏反应相关的症状。然而，没有参与者表明他们知道所有与过敏反应相关的症状。结果也不因年龄而异。接受调查的牙医中只有62%在其诊所配备了急救箱。
结论
本研究揭示了钦奈牙医在过敏反应及其管理方面知识的欠缺。通过提供由研讨会和实践课程组成的继续教育项目，可以增加该领域执业牙医的知识。
