Section 20:43:09:03 - General anesthesia and deep sedation permit requirements

The board may issue a permit to a licensed dentist to administer general anesthesia and deep sedation to dental patients on an outpatient basis if the dentist:

If the residency was completed more than 12 months prior to application, the applicant shall also:

(A) Hold a permit to administer general anesthesia and deep sedation, or an equivalent permit, in another state and have completed a minimum of 50 general anesthesia or deep sedation cases in the 12 months prior to application; or

(B) Undergo a review by the board of the applicant's recent training and experience and complete supplemental training, education, evaluation, or remediation required by the board. The applicant shall pay all costs of the training, education, evaluation, remediation, and proceedings;

(2) Has fulfilled the requirements outlined in §§ 20:43:09:12 and 20:43:09:13.01; and

(3) Is certified in administering Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support by the American Heart Association or an equivalent program approved by the board and, if providing general anesthesia or deep sedation to a patient under 12 years of age, is certified in Pediatric Advanced Life Support by the American Heart Association or an equivalent program approved by the board.

A dentist with a general anesthesia and deep sedation permit may not administer general anesthesia or deep sedation without the presence and assistance of at least two individuals who hold a permit to monitor patients under general anesthesia, deep sedation, or moderate sedation, or are otherwise authorized by law to monitor patients under general anesthesia, deep sedation, or moderate sedation.

A dentist administering general anesthesia or deep sedation shall be proficient in airway management and advanced cardiac life support; shall be capable of providing intravenous access; shall continuously evaluate the patient's blood pressure, pulse, respiratory function and cardiac activity; and shall apply the current standard of care.

A general anesthesia and deep sedation permit incorporates the authority granted by a moderate sedation permit, a nitrous oxide sedation and analgesia permit, and a host permit.
