Anek Flashcards
Guedel’s stages of general anesthesia
- amnesia and analgesia
- unconscious/delirium /unstable
- surgical anesthesia/ desirable stage/ stable
- respiratory depression
Anes has the capacity to oxidize but the most commonly cited anes related to methemoglobinemia is? it is converted into?
Prilocaine (Citanest) is converted into orthotuluidine (cause methemoglobinemia)
**Risk of methemoglobinemia is also increased in articaine above recommended dose
Maximum dosage of epi for normal patients
0.2mg (200 micrograms)
Maximum dosage of epi for cardiovascular-compromised patients
0.04mg (40 micrograms)
Only anesthesia that is a vasoconstrictor
Cocaine - not used in dentistry
Safest local anesthesia
Lidocaine (Xylocaine, Lignocaine)
Amide Local anesthesia usally without vasoconstrictor since it is a weak vasodilator, SHORTEST acting amide
Mepivacaine (Marcaine)
Metabolized both by liver and plasma, specially designed for dentists, increased risk of paresthesia
Articaine
amide local anesthetics combined to produce topical anesthesia
Lidocaine + prilocaine (Eutectic Mixture of L. A.)
1st synthetic LA
procaine (novocaine)
shortest acting LA
procaine (novocaine)
Preservatives of LA that can cause allergic reactions
Methyparaben - prevent microbial contamination
antioxidant of vasoconstrictors of LA (reducing agent)
Sodium bisulfites - prevent oxidation
Max dose of lidocaine with epi (adult)
7mg of lidocaine / kg
Pero max daily pa rin 500mg
total max daily dose (lidocaine w. epi)
500mg
Total max daily dose (lidocaine w/o epi)
300mg -lidocaine w/o epi is more toxic
needle used in Md block in pedo px
27 (short -20mm)
needle used for intraligamentary injection
30 gauge (ultra short <20mm)
