Abstract

The loss of consciousness in the dental office have many causes, such as, vasodepressor syncope, drug administration, orthostatic hypotension, epilepsy, hypoglycemic reaction, acute adrenal insufficiency, acute allergic reaction, acute myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, hyperglycemic reaction and hyperventilation. Patients have fainted during all phases of dental care: during tooth extraction and other surgical procedures, during local anesthetic injections, or during procedures such as venipuncture, on being seated in the dental chair, and even on first entering the dental office. If an elderly patient with known cardiovascular or cerebrovascular problems experiences a syncopal episode, differentiation from cerebrovascular insufficiency of more serious etiology, such as cerebrovascular accident, must be considered. And anaphylactic shock is also suggested during intravenous drug administration. This is a case report of syncope care during venous injection of cephalosporin in patient with cerebrovascular accident.
