Abstract

Children commonly experience orofacial injuries and often need emergency treatment. Due to fear and anxiety, children tend to be uncooperative in emergency rooms. Ketamine hydrochloride is a well-known sedative agent at medical-based emergency rooms which has been used for procedural sedation. In this paper, we will discuss the sedation of uncooperative young patients, who needed dental treatments in the emergency room at Wonju Severance Christian Hospital, using ketamine. We collected the records of patients under 18-years-old who visited the emergency room for dental treatment from January 2010 to May 2014. The data was categorized by age, sex, required dental treatments and application of ketamine sedation. Among 659 pediatric patients who visited for emergency dental treatments, 118 patients were treated under sedation using ketamine. Majority of patients were under the age of 6 (110 patients), and the most frequent cause of sedation was suture of oral laceration (105 patients). Though ketamine should not be used by dentists alone, dentists in emergency rooms can easily meet the patients under deep sedation using ketamine. Hence, dentists in emergency rooms need to be aware of the clinical effects, considerations, and potential adverse effects of ketamine.

어린이는 쉽게 넘어지거나 부딪혀 구강안면부의 손상을 흔히 경험하며, 응급치료를 필요로 한다. 이러한 환자들에서는 공포와 불안으로 인해 협조도가 불량해지게 된다. 케타민은 일반 응급실에서 어린 환자의 치료와 검사를 위한 진정제로 잘 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 원주 세브란스 기독병원 응급실에서 케타민을 이용한 진정법을 시행한 현황에 대해 알아보았다. 2010년 1월에서 2014년 5월까지 치과적 응급처치를 위해 의뢰된 만 18세 이하의 환자들의 기록이 수집되었으며, 연령, 성별, 시행된 치과적 치료, 케타민 진정법 시행 여부에 대한 자료를 분석하였다. 총 659명의 소아 환자가 치과적 응급처치를 필요로 하였으며, 이중 118명이 케타민 진정법이 시행되었다. 조사 결과 열상의 봉합을 시행한 환자에서 진정법이 더 많이 시행되었고, 연령이 어릴수록 진정법이 시행되었던 상관성이 확인되었다. 케타민 진정법은 치과의사 단독으로 사용하지 않아야 하지만, 응급실에서 1차 진료를 담당하는 치과의사는 케타민 진정법이 적용된 환자들을 쉽게 접할 수 있다. 따라서, 응급실에서 근무하는 치과의사는 케타민의 임상적 효과, 고려사항, 그리고 발생 가능한 합병증 및 대처 방안에 대해 숙지하고 있어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
