COMPONENT NEWSTHE CALIFORNIA STATE DENTAL SOCIETY OF ANESTHESIOLOGY

February 16th was the night of the Annual Election of Officers and it waspreceded by a panel discussion with participants, Drs. Herbert Berquist, FrankBrucia and Donal Zimmerman. Officers, Directors and Advisors include: Pres-ident, Dr. Norman Lussier, San Fancisco; Vice President, Dr. Kenneth Follmar,Los Gatos; Secretary-Treasurer, Dr. Carter S. Hjelte, San Francisco; Directors, Dr.Frank Brucia, San Francisco; Dr. Kenneth Tessler, San Francisco; Dr. HerbertC. Berquist, Saratoga; Dr. Donald Zimmerman, Palo Alto; Advisory, Dr. DonJose Aubertine, San Francisco; Dr. Donald H. Devlin, San Leandro; Dr. DavidBrody, Hayward. Newly appointed by President, Dr. Lussier, were ProgramChairman, Dr. Francis Lucchetti, San Francisco and Program Co-Chairman, Dr.Kenneth Tessler, San Francisco.

At this same meeting, Dr. Joseph Osterloh, President of the A.D.S.A. an-nounced the formation of a committee to meet with medical men in the statewho have the common interest of anesthesiology. This committee has beenformed by our new president and will include: Drs. Lyall Bishop, T. Bullard,Donald Devlin, Ken Follmar, W. Hall, Bernerd Kingsbury, Norman Lussier,J. McVeigh, William Sheeran, Ken Tessler, Al Throndson, William Wirtz, N.Young and Don Zimmerman. This joint meeting is expected in the near future.The following is an excerpt of the acceptance speech made by Dr. Norman

A. Lussier of San Francisco:

. . . Our organization is unique in that its membership is open to alldentists. This is the only organization that can appeal to all dentists be-cause the subject of pain control is basic to all dental organizations. TheAmerican Dental Society of Anesthesiology has become the central outletfor information relative to anesthesia and pain control in dentistry. Amonthly magazine containing the latest developments and information onpain control is published and sent to all members. It is not a society ofspecialists but rather it was devised as a common meeting ground forspecialists and general practitioners alike for the primary purpose of ad-vancing anesthesiology as an integral part of dental practice. It has beeninstrumental in changing the image of dental anesthesiology in the eyes ofour medical confreres. As a result anesthesiology is definitely a part ofdental education and its use by dentists is a more firmly establishedright than ever. Before this society was formed this right was in dangerof being lost to dentistry, in fact, the main reason for the formation ofthis society was to preserve this right. So we owe a great debt that weshall never be able to repay. We can however, and we should endeavor 'tocompensate for this debt by belonging to this organization and assisting inits high purpose.

I would like the theme of our administration to be increased member-ship and active membership. If every member we have at present couldencourage one more dentist to join we could double our membership withvery little effort indeed.

ANESTHESIA PROGRESS146

So far I have four subjects to propose for meetings. I think we couldeasily absorb a practical lecture on physical evaluation. Certainly a re-fresher course on Local Anesthesia with table clinics would not be amiss.Cheminesia could be a timely subject to include premedication by mouth, bymuscle or vein. The intelligent use of antibiotics and vasopressors, theproper use of narcotics, analgesics, vitamin compounds etc. could be thesubject of another meeting. A meeting could be devoted to general anesthe-sia which would include both didactic and clinical instruction. We havean annual meeting known as the Western Regional Conference on Anes-thesiology in Dentistry, which this year will be sponsored by the SouthernGroup. These meetings will all be designed to increase our knowledge andimprove the image of dental anesthesiology.Again may I thank you for the honor you have bestowed on me. By

faithfully fulfilling the obligations of this office I shall hope to proveworthy of your confidence. Thank you.

A "Breakfast Session" of the California Component was held during theAnnual meeting of the California Dental Association, on Tuesday, April 19th,1966 at the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco. John S. Lundy, M.D., spoke on"My Part on the History of Anesthesia." This included a 'taped interview withDr. Heindbrink - a memorable recording dealing with Dr. Heidbrink's reasonfor becoming an anesthesiolog;st from a dental experience.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

The Southern California Component held its meeting on April 27, 1966 atthe Los Angeles County Medical Association Building. Mr. Richard E. Burgess,Director of Technical Services for Pharmaseal Laboratories, presented a verylucid talk on "Body Fluids and Health." His illustrated lecture filled animportant need in reviewing significant principles and examples of fluid andelectrolyte balance.The second Annu.al Western Regional Conference will be held October 14

and 15, Friday and Saturday, at the new UCLA School of Dentistry. Thetitle of the conference is "Operation S.A.F.E." - abbreviated Symptom Analysisfor Evaluation. The program will feature discussions of evaluation of patientswith cardio-pulmonary problems: Pharmacodynamics of cardio-pulmonary dis-ease: and a symposium on anesthesia for the patient with cardio-pulmonaryproblems - both ambulatory and hospital. Complete details of the meetingwill be sent to the membership in the near future.

MARYLAND

With M. Eugene Hinds, D.D.S., as President; Daniel Hohman, D.D.S., asVice-President and Chris J. O'Connell, Jr., D.D.S., as Secretary-Treasurer, theMaryland Component held its Annual Meeting at the Stafford Hotel on May19, 1966. Drs.

Dr. Arthur Taubman of Tulsa waselected President and delegate; Dr. Robert Hirschi of Oklahoma City waselected Vice-President and alternate.

PENNSYLVANIAThe Pennsylvania Component met with the Philadelphia County Dental So-

ciety on March 25, 1966. Four members of the Component presented a paneldiscussion on anesthesiology. At their Annual Business Meeting, held April 17,1966, at the Hotel Harrisburger, Dr. W. Griffith spoke on "Physiologic In-terpretation of Blood Pressure" and the following officers were elected. Dr.Robert Runzo, President; Dr. Carl Johnson, President-Elect; Dr. Robert Pas-qual, Secretary and Dr. Arnold Dragon, Treasurer.

MASSACHUSETTSPresident Charles H. McCann, D.M.D., reports that the Massachusetts Com-

ponent has held three excellent meetings; the first on Premedication, by Dr.John Lorenz of the Boston City Hospital; the second on Pain, by Dr. DavidWeisberger of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine and a third, LocalAnesthesia, which included a tour of the Astra Company, Worcester, Massachu-setts plant. The principal speaker was Dr. David Grainger of Tufts UniversitySchool of Dental Medicine. The final meeting of the year was held in conjunc-tion with the Massachusetts Dental Society's Annual Meeting on May 2nd. StephenP. Mallett, former chief of the Boston City Hospital Oral Surgery Department,was guest speaker.

Characteristic of the dynamic efforts of -associate editor Donald Giddon,D.M.D., is the symposium on "Concepts of Patient Management" presented atthe Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Dental Society. This involved asymposium with two principal speakers. "From the Point of View of thePsychiatrically Sophisticated Dentist" was presented by Sidney Fpstein, D.D.S.,of San Francisco and "From the Point of View of 'the Dentally SophisticatedPsychiatrist" was presented by Bernard L. Busfield, Jr., M.D., of Boston.

NOTES FROM THE

13th ANNUAL MEETING,CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

HELD FEBRUARY 26, 1966

Dr. Osterloh welcomed all component representatives, officers and membersto the meeting. Our Society recognizes gains made both outside and within ourprofession this past year. There are still many dentists who mistakenly believethat our Society is concerned only with the field of general anesthesia. Wecontinue in our efforts to dispel this belief. Today, many of the academicianshave also been in contact with this Society to help upgrade the teaching ofanesthesiology.

Physical Evaluation is most important to all dentists, in addition to its partic-ular significance in the field of anesthesiology. Several courses in PhysicalEvaluation are now in existence in various parts of the country and we wouldhope that their number will increase greatly in the future. So as not to bemisunderstood let us re-emphasize, "The purpose of the instruction (in PhysicalEvaluation) is to enable dentists to better evaluate their patients prior to treat-ment, and not to enable them to diagnose or to treat medical conditions." It isimportant for the dentist to determine if an abnormality exists and that there isa need for further examination. His main concern should be his awareness ofany physiological deviation which could effect the patient's reaction to thetreatment which the dentist proposes to render. Programs directed to this aspecthave always been well attended.Many of the recurring problems and continuing practices in the field of anes-

thesiology which are out-dated in view of the recent advances in the field, are adirect result of the lack of communication and apathy within the profession. Itis recommended that all components seek the aid of men who teach paincontrol. Together we may properly educate the undergraduate and neophytedentist.

All components are urged to plan a well thought out and purposeful pro-gram and not to merely have a "meeting." The Central Programming Com-mittee will be happy to lend assistance for such programs. A good program isoften the difference between success and failure of a component.

Dr. Greenfield called upon each component representative in turn for a briefresume of his component's activities.

The Role of Continuing Education in DevelopingComponent Activity

Presented by Dr. Carl Wagner

"What is the role of the continuing education course? To excerpt from theConstitution of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology, Article 2. Thepurposes of this Society are several. 'It shall be the purpose of this Society;1) To associate and affiliate into one organization all . . . dentists who areengaged in the practice of anesthesiology, both local and general, or who are

MAY 1966 149

especially interested . . . 2) To encourage the study of anesthesiology. 3) Toencourage specialization in anesthesiology. 4) To foster higher standards ofeducation in the dental schools as regards the teaching of anesthesiology. 5)To raise the standards of practice of anesthesiology by providing more andbetter training programs at the graduate level. 6) To meet together for thepurposes of exchanging information and reporting progress . . ."The continuing education course is a direct fulfillment of purposes number

two and five; namely, to encourage the study of anesthesiology and to raise thestandards of practice of anesthesiology by providing more and better trainingprograms at the graduate level.What has been the role of the continuing education course in promoting

activity in the state of Washington? Washington members are no different fromthe rest of you. They joined this organization for the same reasons that youdid. They joined in order to elevate the standards and quality of their ownanesthesia service for the benefit of their own patients. We, like you, feel thata serious need exists for the updating and upgrading of the dentist in the artand science of pain control. We, like you, will make sacrifices of valuabletime and money to hear speakers who present advanced concepts and data.The idea of presenting a course in physical diagnosis did not originate in

Washington. It was proposed in an address -to us by our national president,Dr. Joseph P. Osterloh about a year ago. The hope was that we might inducethe medical school to give dentists interested in pain control a course identical tothat given the undergraduate medical student covering the field of PhysicalEvaluation.A committee was named to study the feasibility of the proposal. It was

agreed that help should be sought from the medical staff of Maynard Hospitalwhere one of the committee members was acquainted. Consequently, throughthe good offices of Dr. Gregory John, Internist and Dr. George Wright, Anes-thesiologist, negotiations were initiated with the department of ContinuingEducation, Medical School, University of Washington. I strongly urge that youenlist help from the medical profession in negotiations with their school. Ourtask would have been infinitely more difficult without their help.We are able to announce that the Department of Continuing Education, Med-

ical School, University of Washington would present a course entitled "PhysicalEvaluation," sponsored by the Washington State Dental Society of Anesthesiol-ogy. The course, consisting of nine one-hour lectures, will cover the followingareas: 1) Cardiovascular Disease 2) Peripheral-Vascular Disease 3) PulmonaryDisease 4) Metabolic Disturbances 5) Hematology 6) Miscellaneous Drug Re-lationships 7) Toxic Reactions and Resuscitation 8) Assessment of AnestheticRisks 9) Questions and Answers.A statement similar to the following will be included in the course brochure.

"It is felt that a serious need exists for updating -and upgrading the backgroundof the dentist in the art and science of physical diagnosis. Although this appliesto the man administering general anesthetics, it is not this man to whom thecourse is directed. It is directed to the busy, capable, all-arotind man givingoverall care to families, practicing Endodontics, Periodontics, Surgery, PainControl, as well as Operative Dentistry. This man assumes more responsibilityfor the well-being of the total patient every day and with this responsibility he

1 An

acquires concomitant risk. The course content has been carefully worked outto give this good all-around man training with which he can quickly andaccurately evaluate physical status. The subject matter is comparable in depthand scope with that given physicians. The lecturers are physicians and thelocale is the Medical School. Because of the implication that one completingthis course may possess knowledge beyond the scope of the normal graduate,100% attendance is requisite to certification of completion of the course. At-tendance will be limited."How has the project of presenting this course -affected the Washington State

Dental Society of Anesthesiology?Interest is high and attendance is up. Business sessions have attracted the

highest attendance in years. Faces that haven't been seen in months are showingup. The gratifying thing about it all is that the primary concern of everyoneis that the course be excellent, up to date, and that it will truly equip theparticipant to totally evaluate the physical status of patients.

This is a "first of its kind" in the entire Northwest. It has greatly kindledenthusiasm. We sincerely hope that it will "encourage the study of anesthesi-ology" and that it will serve to "raise the standards of practice of anesthesiologyby providing a better training program at the graduate level." To these idealsis the whole effort dedicated."

HOUSE OF DELEGATES MEETING -MINUTESThe House of Delegates was called to order by President Osterloh at 1: 00 P.M.The Invocation was given by Dr. Jay Whisenand.The following delegates were duly certified and seated: Dr. Marvin L. Dal-

chow, Iowa; Dr. Melvin Becker, Florida; Dr. Harold J. Panuska, Minnesota; Dr.Gilbert Bickel, Missouri; Dr. Morris W. Kaniss, New Jersey; Dr. WilliamGreenfield, New York; Dr. Robert Horton, Ohio; Dr. Robert Runzo, Pennsyl-vania; Dr. Chris J. Boehm, Washington; Dr. Don Jose Aubertine, California;Dr. Max M. Behr, Kentucky; Dr. John S. Cotten, Mississippi.

Dr. Osterloh gave the President's Report. He reported briefly on positiveaction in the following areas: Tripartite Liaison Committee; Activation of Fel-lowship Program; Committee on Foundations and Grants; Postgraduate Edu-cation; and Editorial Board. All actions taken at the 1965 Annual Meetinghave been implemented. The Society has advanced on all fronts; mainlythrough the co-operative efforts of all persons concerned with the administra-tion of society affairs, both locally and nationally, and through the foresight ofthose officers who preceded us. Dr. Osterloh officially commended Dr. HarrySultz for his work on the proposed Anesthesia Research Fund and Dr. WayneHiatt for chairing the most successful Second Conference on Pain Control. TheSociety continues to act as the "spokesman" for anesthesia in dentistry. TheSociety has received a request from the Chairman of the Council on ScientificSession of the A.D.A. with reference to improving the quality and the atten-dance at the annual scientific session of the A.D.A. in the field of Pain Controland Anesthesia. The full co-operation of the Society was offered and the sug-gestion made -that our Society be consulted in the planning of all Future A.D.A.Scientific Sessions in the field of Anesthesia and Pain Control. Report accepted.

Next Dr. Whisenand gave the Treasurer's report. The books have beenaudited by the Gibson accounting firm and a copy of their audit will bemade a permanent part of the minutes.

At the direction of the Board of Directors, the Treasurer's office has made aproration of dues only to those components which submitted a planned pro-gram of activities during this year. This has proved a satisfactory methiod ofdetermining proration of dues, as well as keeping the national organization in-formed of all component activities. This procedure will be continued this year.To comply with this directive the component officers need only to inform theTreasurer's office (or Secretary's office) by letter of the anticipated componentactivity for the coming year. Upon receipt of such letter, the component willreceive a proration of $5.00 per member, paid quarterly, along with a completelist of members indicating their paid or non-paid status. The components areurged to then contact their members who are delinquent to encourage theirdues payment.

Due to a change in membership cards, the 1966 cards have not yet beenmailed. The design of the cards has been resolved, and should their printingbe delayed, each paid-up member will receive a letter of receipt until suchtime as the new cards can be mailed. All components are urged to require theshowing of the new membership card for entrance to all component andA.D.S.A. functions. The Society is operating within its budget, it is solvent,and it has re-established its reserve fund.

Tripartite Liaison Committee: The committee met informally in Denver, Nov.3, 1965 in conjunction with the Committee on Graduate Education of theA.S.O.S. The previous activities of this committee were reviewed, as well asthe purposes and scope. The interim report of this committee was read andentered as a part of the official meeting of the Committee on Graduate Educa-tion. It was felt that this committee was serving a most worthwhile purpose,and that its activities should be continued. The functions of this committeeare one of the important aspects that are continually giving us recognition asthe spokesman for anesthesiology in dentistry.

Committee on Foundations & Grants: Dr. Harry Sultz presented a proposedprogram for the Anesthesia Research Fund. A preliminary meeting with thir-teen major industries was very successful with nearly all companies givingunanimous approval of such a program. The Fund for Anesthesia Researchwould be a non-profit Foundation for scientific or educational purposes. Thecontributors to the fund could in turn call upon the A.D.S.A. for consultation,information, and combined meetings of mutual interest.

The Fund for Anesthesia Research would be established under the followingconditions: "The Foundation would be organized exclusively for the purposes asenumerated in section 501C, section 3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Theprovision of this section most applicable to this Foundation would require thatthe corporation be organized and incorporated exclusively for scientific purposes.The benefits must not be restricted to fee-paying clients and must be madeavailable to the public at large. Under the corporate purposes should be 'theconducting of scientific research in the public interest'."

ANESTHESIA PROGRESS152

Second Conference on Pain Con-trol: Dr. Wayne Hiatt presented thefinal report of the conference, alongwith a financial accounting. Thebalance of $712.01 is to be usedfor expenses pertinent to printingand publication of Conference ma-terial in Anesthesia Progress. Dr.Hiatt presented a copy of the Pro-ceedings of the Conference to eachdelegate. The committee recom-mended that a positive follow-upprogram be instituted and that asimilar conference be held in two tothree years.

Editorial Board: Dr. NormanTrieger introduced Mr. Richard Lav-in of Wellesley Press, printer of An-esthesia Progress. Dr. Trieger re-ported that our journal is a broadand evolving publication; the onlysuch publication in the fie!d of den-tistry in this country devoted to an-esthesiology in dentistry. Presentcirculation is approximately 2700copies in ten issues per year. Weplan to continue with two originalarticles in each issue along with ab-stracts and announcements of meet-ings and courses. The EditorialBoard needs the full co-operation ofall members, especially the compo-nent officers, in obtaining material ofinterest and maintaining correspon-dence with the local level.

The Board of Directors has actedto increase the cost of subscrip-tion to the Anesthesia Progress to$5.00 per year and to make inde-pendent subscription to the Journalavailable. A preliminary programto increase circulation will be un-dertaken soon. It is hoped thatthrough increased circulation, theJournal will grow in stature andcontent and in turn stimulate in-creased interest in membership inour Society. With increased circu-

lation would also come an increasein advertising revenue. An optimis-tic goal of 20,000 subscribers maynot be unrealistic.

Senior Student Recognition Pro-gram: As authorized by the Boardof Directors and the House of Del-egates at the 1965 annual meeting,a program of recognition for out-standing senior dental students hasbeen formulated and will be acti-vated this year. The Society willprovide recognitions Certificate,along with one year's free member-ship in the Society and subscrip-tion to Anesthesia Progress. Thestudent recipient will be selected bythe dental school faculty with theco-operation of the component ornational society and the presenta-tion made at a time agreeable toboth parties. In those areas wherecomponent societies exist, the com-ponents are urged to take an activepart in the presentation, and to addto the aw.ard if so desired. Letterswill be sent to the dental schoolrepresentative to the Second Confer-ence on Pain Control, with copiesto the deans and to the componentsecretary or A.D.S.A. representative.

Committee on Component Activ-ity: Dr. Carter Hjelte reported thata Central Programming Center is es-tablished and can help coordinateactivities and avoid conflicting plans.Many of the Components appearto have expanded their activitiesand are including surroundingareas for regional association andscientific activity; e.g. Annual West-em Regional Conference on Anes-thesiology in Dentistry and the An-nual Postgraduate Anesthesia Con-ference in Pennsylvania. Organizedand well printed brochures on re-fresher courses have appeared from

MAY 1966 153

the responding components, all em-phasizing the association of theA.D.S.A. with the given course.The committee recommended:

Encourage development of Com-ponents, offer help and informationto existing components and act as acenter to refer inquiries to thosemost able to answer and advise.Center for collection of all an-nouncements of Component activityas well as a Program CoordinationCenter. Encourage and help withregional scientific activities. It isfelt that the most important func-tion of this Committee should be tocollect and offer data from the Com-ponents to the Components and theNational office. It is suggested thatthis committee be renamed the"Committee of Component Devel-opment and Records."

Election: Dr. Whisenand pre-sented the slate of officers as ap-proved by the Nominating Com-mittee. No nominations receivedfrom the floor. Nominations fromthe House for two members to theNominating Committee: Dr. Rob-ert Runzo and Dr. Gilbert Bickelnominated. The Secretary was di-rected to cast unanimous ballot for-all nominees. Motion carried.

Nominations from the House forthe position of two Directors atLarge: Written ballot was taken andDr. Wayne Hiatt was elected for atwo-year term and Dr. Harry Ka-niss was elected for a one-year term.House of Delegates adjourned at

3:30 p.m.Respectfully submitted:
