Behaviour Management of Children Presenting in the Emergency Department with OMFS Problems.

Introduction
This paper is a summary of three case reports of patients treated
by Oral and Maxillofacial (OMFS) Dental Foundation Trainees
(DF2s) at a busy London paediatric Accident and Emergency (A&E)
department.


Discussion
Behavioural management for paediatric patients is challenging.
The authors discuss various non-pharmacological behavioural
management methods as stand-alone techniques or as an adjunct
to drugs (sedation or anaesthesia). They highlight three cases
where a dedicated Play-Specialist is employed to assist treatment
undertaken in an acute hospital setting. Here we discuss options
available to clinicians for behaviour management as well as three
case scenarios detailing the use of Play-Specialists alongside
conventional pharmacological and non-pharmacological
methods.


Conclusion
Through implementing appropriate behavioural management
methods (with or without drugs), optimal patient care can be
achieved. The benefit of having a specialist solely trained in
engaging with children, with respect to their behavioural
tendencies, is demonstrated, highlighting their value in an acute
setting.
