PROCEDURE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION
OF ORAL, BUCCAL OR INTRANASAL MIDAZOLAM
FOR PREMEDICATION PRIOR TO DENTAL CONSCIOUS SEDATION
INTRODUCTION
This procedure outlines the actions to be followed by dentists who are qualified and required
to use premedication prior to conscious sedation for patients of Wirral Community NHS Trust
Salaried Dental Services (SDS).
This may take place within suitably equipped primary care dental surgeries or in the
secondary care setting of Arrowe Park Hospital Sedation Suite (APHSS).
It also outlines the actions to be followed by supporting Registered General Nurses (RGN) or
Sedation Trained Dental Care Professionals (STDCP) working within the dental sedation
team.
This procedure must be read in conjunction with MMSOP 21 for the administration of IV
midazolam for conscious sedation.
All staff involved must accept the following definition of conscious sedation:A technique in which the use of a drug or drugs, produces a state of depression of the central
nervous system enabling treatment to be carried out, but during which verbal contact with the
patient is maintained throughout the period of sedation. The drugs and techniques used to
provide conscious sedation for dental treatment should carry a margin of safety wide enough
to render loss of consciousness unlikely. The level of sedation must be such that the patient
remains conscious, retains protective reflexes and is able to understand and respond to
verbal commands. (General Dental Council GDC: “Maintaining Standards” 2001).
In patients who are unable to respond to verbal contact even when fully conscious (e.g.
patients with hearing impairment) the normal method of communicating with them must be
maintained. The concept of “deep sedation” in which the criteria listed above are not fulfilled is
regarded as general anaesthesia by the GDC.
TARGET GROUP
Suitably qualified and experienced Dental surgeons, Registered General Nurses and
Sedation Trained Dental Care Professionals working within the dental sedation team.
TRAINING
All staff in the Trust are required to comply with mandatory training, as specified in the Trust’s
Mandatory Training Matrix. Clinical Staff are also required to comply with service specific
mandatory training as specified within their service training matrix.
All dental clinicians undertaking premedication with oral, buccal or intranasal midazolam must
have successfully completed the training in conscious sedation as outlined in MMSOP 21: for
the administration of IV midazolam for conscious sedation. In addition all dental clinicians
should be suitably qualified in the premedication techniques outlined in this procedure and

keep up to date continuous professional development records together with a portfolio of
evidence of the training experience and the techniques being used.
All STDCP or RGNs acting as the second appropriately trained person must have
successfully completed an appropriate training course as outlined in MMSOP 21 and have
relevant experience.
RELATED POLICIES
Please refer to relevant Trust policies and procedures.
INDICATIONS FOR PREMEDICATION PRIOR TO CONSCIOUS SEDATION
For a minority of patients who require conscious sedation for dental treatment it is not
possible to simply follow the SOP for IV midazolam. This is often because of an inability to
cope with the cannulation process due to either anxiety of this procedure or an inability to
understand or co-operate with this process. In these circumstances it is possible to provide a
form of premedication to facilitate/aid the cannulation process.
The type and choice of premedication is dependent on several factors including the patients’
tolerance to accepting the premedication, patient choice and the skills/ experience of the
operator.
The aim of premedication is not to reach the endpoints of conscious sedation (verrils sign
/eves sign), but to provide sufficient anxiolysis to allow cannulation to take place. In aiming for
anxiolysis rather than sedation it renders the likelihood of over sedation unlikely.
The three procedures outlined, use midazolam as either unlicensed products or for
unlicensed indications.
Oral administration: licensed product for an unlicensed indication.
Buccal administration: licensed or unlicensed product for an unlicensed indication
Intranasal administration: unlicensed product for an unlicensed indication
These techniques are recognised by the Standing Committee on Sedation for Dentistry in a
report Standards for Conscious Sedation in Dentistry: Alternative Techniques 2007
The procedures outlined within this document can only be given within the dental setting by
suitably qualified dental clinicians. They are not suitable for administration at home or by
patients or care staff.
The indications for conscious sedation are listed below:

ASSESSMENT OF PATIENTS
Assessment establishes the suitability of the patient to undergo premedication prior to
conscious sedation and is essential to the process of consent.
Patients should be assessed using the inclusion and exclusion criteria outlined in MMSOP 21.
ASSESSMENT VISIT
All patients who undergo premedication prior to conscious sedation must be assessed prior to
treatment and it is best practice for consent to be done at this assessment appointment. The
assessment is ideally performed within the clinical setting in which treatment is to take place.
This is in order to familiarise the patient/carer with the venue and surroundings. This
facilitates acclimatisation and gives the sedation team an opportunity to establish a rapport
with the anxious patient. However under certain circumstances it may be impractical to carry
out the assessment within the same setting (for example a patient with learning disabilities
who’s initial appointment is at an alternative clinic who would find it stressful and upsetting to
undergo a second assessment visit elsewhere.)
Please follow MMSOP21 for the full details required at the assessment visit.
Using this information and by referring to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the suitability
and need of the patient to receive this treatment is established. If the patient fulfils the criteria
for premedication prior to conscious sedation within the SDS, a treatment plan is devised and
the consent process begins.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Pre and post-operative verbal and written instructions must be given to the patient/carer
regarding the premedication (including the use of licensed or unlicensed medicines for an
unlicensed indication) and conscious sedation by the dental clinician, this must then be
documented within the clinical notes. Patient information leaflets on pre and post-operative
instructions are available on the Trust intranet.
The role and the responsibilities of the appropriate escorting person must be explained
and highlighted to the patient/carer.
Patient information leaflets (PIL)s outlining the treatment to be performed must be
discussed verbally and given in writing. e.g. extraction / root canal. PILs outlining specific
treatments are available on the Trust intranet.
Record in the patient’s notes the issue and discussion of the PIL.
Full written consent must be gained for the treatment plan using Trust approved consent
forms.
Prior to administration of unlicensed medicines staff involved in administration should
ensure they have appropriate informed consent.
Document the phone number of the responsible adult escort to ring, if, after the procedure,
an emergency arises.
Once the process of consent is complete:• Convenient treatment appointments are arranged.
Prior to leaving the surgery a final check must be made that the patient is happy with the
proposed treatment plan and that they fully understand what their and the escorts

responsibilities are on the day of treatment. Further emphasis must be made for the need to
keep the appointments.
Consent although agreed at this appointment must be revisited at every sedation appointment
CONSENT
Valid consent must be given voluntarily by an appropriately informed person prior to any
procedure or intervention. No one can give consent on behalf of another adult who is deemed
to lack capacity regardless of whether the impairment is temporary or permanent. However
such patients can be treated if it is deemed to be within their best interest. This must be
recorded within the patient’s health records with a clear rationale stated at all times. Refer to
Trust Consent Policy for further information and guidance.
EQUIPMENT
It is the responsibility of the supporting RGN or STDCP to ensure that the surgery is fully
operational and all monitoring equipment is checked, regularly maintained, fully working and
appropriate records are kept.
•
The supporting RGN or STDCP is required to prepare the premedication tray and the
reversal tray (tray 2), the contents of which are outlined below.
• Batch numbers and expiry dates of medicines and instruments used must be logged,
ensuring that expiry dates have not been exceeded.
• These two medicine trays should be available at the chair side for every patient
receiving premedication with midazolam, (together with tray 1 for the conscious
sedation procedure as outlined in MMSOP 21)
• When not in use all medicines are to be locked away.

Flumazenil should always be available and
stored in a separate tray. It should be used
to reverse the effects of midazolam if
required. The availability of this reversal
agent does not justify poor titration
technique or over dosage with midazolam.
The recommended initial dose is 200
micrograms (2ml) administered
intravenously over 15 seconds
If the desired level of consciousness is not
obtained within 60 seconds a further dose of
100 micrograms (1ml) can be injected and
repeated if necessary at 60 second intervals
up to a maximum total dose of 1mg (10ml)
Document all details of medication
administered, including dosage and route of
administration.
In the event of flumazenil being
administered, it is essential that the patient’s
escort is informed. This is because the half
– life of flumazenil is shorter than
midazolam and there is the possibility of resedation occurring.
A Trust incident form must be completed
If there is a need to administer Flumazenil,
administration must be recorded in the
patient’s notes and in the log book within
the surgery to be audited on a yearly basis
If flumazenil is required, it must always be
drawn up into a 5ml syringe and the
clinician should inform the second
appropriate person that they are about to
administer flumazenil.

DETERIORATING PATIENTS
Should a patient deteriorate the Trust Deteriorating Patient Policy must be followed and an
SBAR (Situation, background, assessment and recommendations) completed when referring
patient to emergency services and all treatment given recorded in the patient’s health records.
INCIDENT REPORTING
Clinical incidents or near misses must be reported via the Trust’s incident reporting system.
SAFEGUARDING
In any situation where staff may consider the patient to be a vulnerable adult, they need to
follow the Trust Safeguarding Adult Policy and discuss with their line manager and document
outcomes.
EQUALITY ASSESSMENT
During the development of this protocol the Trust has considered the clinical needs of
each protected characteristic (age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, pregnancy and
maternity, race, religion or belief and sexual orientation). There is no evidence of exclusion of
these named groups.
If staff become aware of any clinical exclusions that impact on the delivery of care a Trust
Incident form would need to be completed and an appropriate action plan put in place.
REFERRALS
Any referrals to health professionals, therapists or other specialist services must be followed
up and all professional advice or guidance documented in the patients health records
