Anesthesia-related cardiac arrest.

Background: Much is still unknown about the actual incidence of anesthesia-related cardiac arrest in the United States.

Methods: The authors identified all of the cases of cardiac arrest from their quality improvement database from 1999 to 2009 and submitted them for review by an independent study commission to give them the best estimate of anesthesia-related cardiac arrest at their institution. One hundred sixty perioperative cardiac arrests within 24 h of surgery were identified from an anesthesia database of 217,365 anesthetics.

Dental injury associated with anesthesia: a report of 161,687 anesthetics given over 14 years.

Study Objective: To determine the frequency, outcomes, and risk factors for dental injury related to anesthesia.

Design: Case-control study.

Setting: Tertiary-care university hospital.
