21
Q

which has more of a hypersensitive response, esters or amides?

A

esters

22
Q

lidocaine duration (time) on eye is ____ when used with epinephrine for vasoconstriction?

A

doubled

23
Q

intrinsic ____ will occur when anesthetic numbs nerve impulses responsible for vasoconstriction and decreases duration of action

A

vasodilation

24
Q

high ____ ______ of drug to albumin can account for longer duration of action

A

protein binding

25
Q

which anesthetic can transiently increase corneal thickness?

A

proparacaine

26
Q

6 adverse effects of anesthetics

A

epithelial desquamation, cornemal edema, conjunctival hyperemia, contact dermatitis, burning/stinging/lacrimation, delayed wound healing, seizures/CNS depression (rare)

27
Q

anesthetic combos: is their toxicity additive?

A

no

28
Q

toxicity is ____ related to dose in systemic effects

A

exponentially

29
Q

target of anesthetics is the ___ sodium channels

A

voltage gated(the anesthetic gets into nerve via lipophilic characters, binds to receptor and closes channel so impulse is not created)

A

hypopyon, hyphema

38
Q

in anesthetic abuse syndrome, corneal epithelial defect can lead to _____ and _____?
