How could this episode have been avoided?
A 23-year-old female presents with a positive medical history. She reports a history of type I diabetes. The patient is scheduled for a crown preparation at the noon hour. When the dental auxiliary reviews the medical history, the patient indicates that she has an insulin pump. As the treatment progresses, the dental auxiliary notices that the patient’s skin has become cold and clammy. When the patient is questioned, she appears to be very confused.
The auxiliary could have asked when the patient last ate and, if it had been a while, offered the patient a sugar source.
