Analog has spelled it out very well. My question is, WTF was the dentist, who is supposedly certified in sedation of this type, doing working without a pulse oximeter? That's standard of care.

I believe the expert they consulted called it a "finger monitor" in an earlier post.

That alone would likely have prevented the girl's death. Monitoring her most likely would have, too.

Admittedly I wasn't there, but these two things scream out at me.
