In the above question (If the dental hygienist administered 105 mg of bupivacaine to a 150-pound patient, how many cartridges were administed? 11.6 cartridges) ... what occurred?

The dental hygienist administered an overdose.

Delayed signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction are more intense and serious. If skin reactions develop immediately following the injection, anaphylaxis may occur.

The first statement is false, the second statement is true.

How can the clinician correct the problem of hitting bone while administering the PSA injection?

The syringe needs to be closer to the occlusal plane, thereby reducing the angle to less than 45 degrees.

apple pressure to the area
