Abstract:
The one provider anesthesia model used in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) practices has been a subject of debate due to concerns about patient safety, inadequate attention, and mortality and morbidity rates. Historically, OMS specialists have made significant contributions to modern anesthesia; however, recent changes in Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have led to increased scrutiny of the OMS anesthesia model. Proponents argue that the model is safe and effective, thanks to well-trained Dental Anesthesia Assistants and OMS surgeons' extensive experience in dental anesthesia cases.
