27
which ester LA has a long DOA

28
LA cause temporary loss of __ __ without loss of consciousness by blocking conduction along __ nerve fibers
pain sensation; sensory
29
some selectivity for pain afferents is acheived partly by using the agent close to
target neurons
30
LA are either strong acids or weak bases?
weak bases
30
all currently used drugs block
voltage-dependent Na channels in excitable cells which decreases the likelihood of an action potential
31
the target site of the drugs is on the
cytoplasmic side of the neuron membrane so drug molecules must pass through the membrane
32
LA exist in __ between ionized and nonionized forms
equilibirum
33
lipophilic forms diffuse more __ through the membrane
readily
34
hydrophilic diffuse more readily though
cytoplasm
35
because LA act on excitable cells then can cause toxicity including:
fatal cardiovascular effects or seizures
36
what characteristics of LA increases when epi is added?
- degree of motor blockade - degree of sensory blockade - duration of blockade - area of blockade
37
does onset time increase or decrease when epi is added to LA?
decreases *except during spinal anesthesia
38
what characteristics of LA increase when the dose is increased (volume or concentration)?
- degree of motor blockade - degree of sensory blockade - duration of blockade - area of blockade - peak plasma concentration
39
does onset time increase or decrease when the dose is increased of LA (volume or concentration)?
decrease
40
peak plasma concentraiton __ with the addition of epi to LA
decreases
41
what is the usual dose of epi when added to a LA?
5 µm/mL or 1:200,000
42
epi is usually added to LA to __ the __ of vascular absorption
decrease; rate allowing more anesthetic molecules to reach the nerve membrane and improve the depth and duration of A
42
adding epi can also be used as a __ for inadvertent intravascular injection
marker

52
variation occurs in single injection dose depending on
the type of LA and the location of the block
53
in the event of LA overdose, respiratory depression may occur resulting in __ & __
hypoxia; acidosis
54
the acidosis may increased the
ionized fraction of LA within the cerebral circulation thereby DECREASING its ability to cross the blood/brain barrier cannot leave the brain to reenter systemic circulation!! very bad!!
55
LA accumulation in the fetal circulation is enhanced by
fetal pH is lower than the maternal pH this may result in high fetal levels of LA
56
LA injected into acioditic, infected tissues are __ due to the loss of lipid solubility
ineffective
57
LA lipid solubility is diminished in an acidotic environment d/t
increased concentration of the ionized (water-soluble) form of the drug loss of lipid solubility prevents ABSORPTION INTO THE NERVE thereby preventing access to the site of action
58
carbonation of LA __ the onset and intensity of of action of neural blockafe
speeds
59
CO2 readily diffuses into the nerve __ the pH within the nerve
lowering
60
the lipid-soluble form of the LA after passing through the neuronal membrane will receive
protons from the intra-neuronal environment and ionize
60
increasing th eionized fraction within the neuron produces
higher concentration of the active form of the anesthetic available at the Na channel (site of action)
61
T/F CO2 makes the outside of the nerve more acidic
false inside of the nerve
62
commercialy available LA are prepared in a slightly
acidic formulation improves stability by increasing the concentration of the ionized form of the drug
63
addition of Na bicarb to the LA mixture increased the
pH of the solution thereby increasing the concentration of the non-ionized form of the drug
64
improving lipid solubility of the LA improves
diffusion of the LA through the neuronal membrane leading to a more rapid onset of action
65
Basic solution make the __ of the nerve more __ and easier for LA to __ onset of action
outside; basic; increase
66
fetus has a more __ environment than mom
acidic
67
one of the most important factors of how fast a LA will work it its
pKa
67
the lower the pKa the ___ the onset
faster the greater the portion of nonionized drug available, and the drug needs to be non-ionized to penetrate the nerve
68
the exception is __ the pKa is 8.7
chloroprocaine but its still the fastest LA because we give it a high concentration 3%
68
the more protein bound a LA =
the longer the duration of action
69
how does a more protein-bound LA make it last longer?
if it binds to stronger proteins, it binds to tissues/nerves and therefore takes longer to be released
70
Why do we add epinephrine to locals?
to increase the duration of action and decrease toxicity!
71
unique properties of cocaine
- naturally occurring - comes from coca plants - sigmund freud introduced it into medicine
72
T/F cocaine is extremely potent
True - can only be used as a topical NOT injectable (Max dose 200mg) - blocks the reuptake of norepinephrine and epinephrine --> sympathomimetic effects
73
LA accumulation in the fetal circulation is enhanced by
the fact that the fetal pH is lower than the maternal pH this may result in high fetal levels of LA
74
lipid solubility correlates with
potency *greater lipid solubility enhances diffusion through neural coverings and cell membranes allowing a lower mg dosage
75
dissociation constant (pKa) correlates with
time of onset *determines the portion of an administered dose that exists in the lipid-soluble, tertiary molecular state at a given pH. Agents having a lower pKa have a greater proportion in the tertiary, diffusible state, and the hastens onset
76
chemical linkage correlates with
metabolism *esters are principally hydrolyzed in plasma by cholinesterases. Amides are primarily biotransformed within the liver
77
protein binding correlates with
duration *affinity for plasma proteins also corresponds to affinity for protein at the receptor site within Na channels, prolonging the presence of anesthetic at the site of action
78
symptoms of the therapeutic level of LAST
- lightheadedness - tinnitus - circumoral and tongue numbness
79
Stage 2 of LAST
visual disturbances and muscular twitching and convulsions
80
stage 3 of LAST
coma and unconsciousness
81
bupivacaine binds to
certain cardiac proteins * binds to the heart preferentially over any other tissue
82
stage 4 of LAST
respiratory arrest & CVS depression
83
T/F bupivacaine can be used for IV regional
FALSE binds to the cardiac proteins causing cardiac arrest
84
the spectrum of presenting signs: CNS: CV: combination
45%: 11%: 44%
85
spectrum of CNS signs
- seizure 68% - dizziness, drowsiness, tinnitus, perioral, confusion,dysphoria, dysarthria 11% - loss of consciousness 7% - agitation 11%
86
spectrum of CV signs
- bradycardia/asystole 27% - hypotension 18% - tachycardia 16% - wide complex 12% - VT/VF 13%
87
when does LAST usually occur in 50% of cases?
in less than 1 minute
88
when does LAST usually occur in 25% of cases?
