Office-Based Surgery Guidelines
August 15, 2011
The MMS Committee on the Quality of Medical Practice has recently
reviewed and updated our Office-Based Surgery Guidelines.
The purpose of these guidelines is to promote patient safety in the
non-hospital setting during procedures that require the administration
of local anesthesia, conscious sedation, deep sedation, general
anesthesia, or minor or major conduction blockade. Moreover, these
guidelines have been developed to provide practitioners performing
office-based procedures requiring anesthesia the benefit of uniform
professional guidelines regarding qualification of practitioners and
staff, equipment, facilities, and policies and procedures for patient
assessment and monitoring. The guidelines will be updated periodically
as appropriate.
Nothing in these guidelines shall supercede the “Rules and
Regulations for the Administration of General Anesthesia, Deep Sedation,
Conscious Sedation, and Nitrous Oxide Sedation” of the Board of
Dentistry (CMR 234-3.00) for those practitioners and facilities that
qualify for regulation by the Board of Dentistry.
