Improving the quality and care of oral and maxillofacial treatment.

OMS Advocacy In Action

Why It Matters: Legislative and regulatory decisions directly affect oral and maxillofacial surgery practices, patient access to care, reimbursement, workforce development, licensure requirements, and professional autonomy. NYSSOMS monitors these developments year-round to ensure the specialty's voice is represented in Albany.

AAOMS publishes updated Office Anesthesia Evaluation Manual

Dec 4, 2025

Providing safe, high-quality anesthesia care in our practices depends on resources we can trust – and the newly released 10th edition of the Office Anesthesia Evaluation Manual supports that commitment. Since 1971, the OAE Manual has guided OMSs and their anesthesia teams, and the latest edition reflects a significant collaborative effort from experts across our specialty.

Notably, this edition introduces a new chapter on psychotropic drugs and perioperative interactions, expanded guidance on complications and emergencies as well as updates to research on cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological and substance use considerations.

Members are encouraged to review this updated resource that supports the day-to-day work of maintaining excellence in office-based anesthesia care. Both you and your anesthesia teams will benefit from the latest information and practical checklists. Visit AAOMSstore.com for more information or to obtain a copy.
