A patient information video for treatment under intravenous conscious sedation: considerations, challenges and prospects Harjit Tagar Omesh Modgill Jashme Patel Julie Edwards Olamide Obisesan Dental Update 2024 48:9, 707-709.
This article describes the use of a newly developed animation for the delivery of patient information pertinent to dental treatment performed under intravenous conscious sedation, and provides an understanding of how digital health-related information impacts upon the patient experience. This article provides insight into the rationale for using animation as a means to deliver healthcare-related information, the process undertaken to develop this animation and how the themes and imagery in the animation can be used more broadly to further enhance the patient experience in primary and secondary dental care settings.
CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article outlines the process of developing an animation for patient information and the impact animation can have upon patient experience locally as an aid to delivering instructions.
Article
Approximately 7000 adult dental treatment episodes under intravenous conscious sedation with midazolam (IVS) are performed annually at Kings College Dental Hospital (KCH). Upon receipt of referral, patients are triaged to the appropriate dental specialty for outpatient assessment and treatment planning. As part of the informed consent process, options for different treatment modalities are discussed and those patients considering treatment under IVS are provided verbal and written information as per the Intercollegiate Advisory Committee for Sedation in Dentistry guidance.1 Information provided includes the sedation technique that will be used, fasting regimens, continuation or omission of medications, avoidance of alcohol and recreational drugs, and general aftercare instructions.
Evidence suggests that patient information leaflets (PILs) improve patient compliance by aiding the recall of advice given.2 While the use of PILs in an outpatient setting is widespread, they should serve only to reiterate information delivered verbally.3
