25
Q

Is the NSAID/SSRI interaction additive?

A

No it is synergistic

26
Q

How are local anesthetics different from general anesthetics?

A

Local applied to target site and block pain by depressing peripheral nerves and their axonal conduction while general administered sytemically and depresse CNS and block pain by stopping transmission across synapses

27
Q

What are 8 properties of ideal local anesthetic?

A
  1. Nonirritating
  2. No permanent alteration of nerve
  3. Low systemic toxicity
  4. Effective topically or by injection
  5. Short onset time
  6. Appropriate duration of action
  7. Non-allergenic
  8. Sufficiently potent
28
Q

What are 3 domains of a local anesthetic?

A
  1. Lipophilic
  2. Alkyl link
  3. Hydrophilic
29
Q

What domain determines the anesthetic classification, its metabolism and its toxicity?

A

The alkyl group (amide or ester)

30
Q

What is the primary determinant of local anesthetic potency?

A

Lipid solubility (the more lipid soluble, the more potent)

31
Q

What is the primary determinant of duration of action of local anesthetics?

A

Protein binding (great the protein binding, the longer the duration of action)

32
Q

What are the 2 most influential determinants of onset of action of local anesthetics?

A

Neuron Fiber size and pKa of local

33
Q

What is the most common site of action for local anesthetics?

A

Bind receptor in the sodium channel to block sodium influx

34
Q

What is pKa?

A

The measure of inherent acidity of alkalinty of a molecule. it is the pH at which the cation and the base species are equal

35
Q

Only what form of the anesthetic binds the receptor?

A

Ionized form (cation = positively charged)

36
Q

Which fibers are generally affected by local first: pain or motor?

A

Pain because sensory fibers normally are smaller than motor

37
Q

What happens to local pH in inflamed tissue and its affect on the speed of onset for local?

A

Tissue pH decreases. This causes more cations of the local (i.e. less base) which increases the amount of time it takes to diffuse, and takes longer for onset

38
Q

How are ester anesthetics (e.g. Procaine) metabolized?

A

In blood by pseudocholinesterase

39
Q

How are amide anesthetics metabolized?

A

Liver

40
Q

Which class of local anesthetic would more likely produce a hypersensitivity reaction?

A

Ester

41
Q

What metabolite is the likely cause of the hypersensitivity reaction?

A

p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA)

42
Q

What percentage of patient is likely to have a hypersensitivity reaction to local?

A

less than 1 percent

43
Q

What is the major organ of excretion for both ester and amide locals?

A

50
Q

What is the treatment for methemoglobinemia?

A

Slow IV administration of methylene blue which reduces methemoglobin to hemoglobin by acting as an electron receptor

51
Q

2. Post-operative pain management (longer onset but also longer duration)

53
Q

What is the general idea of an isomer approach?

A

The (+) and (-) isomers of a molecule may have different properties though they have the same number and kind of atoms. One isomer can be isolated and exploited to advantage.

54
Q

What is an example of the isomer approach?

A

(-) istom of bupivicaine is less cardiotoxic than racemic bupivicaine. Therefore, market (-) isomer as Ropivicaine.
