Clinical Action of Specific Agents Flashcards
what are the factors that affect the depth and duration of anesthesia
- individual response to drug is a bell shaped curve
- accuracy in deposition of local anesthesia
- tissue status- vascularity and pH
- anatomical variation
- types of injection administered- block or infiltration
what are the percentages of normal responders, hyper responders, hypo resonders
- normal: 70%
- hyper: 15%
- hypo: 15%
does larger than recommended doses increase duration
NO
what is the maximum dosage now
no distinction/ adjustment made for inclusion of vasoconstrictor
- recommended by council on dental therapeutics of the ADA and US pharmocopeal convention
maximum calculated drug dose should decrease in_____
medically compromised, debilitated or elderly persons
what is the MRD of articaine w/ vasoconstrictor
7.0 mg/kg
3.2 mg/lb
what is the MRD of bupivacaine w/ vasoconstrictor
1.3 mg/kg
0.6 mg/lb
what is the MRD of lidocaine w/o vasoconstrictor
4.4 mg/kg
2.0 mg/lb
what is the MRD of lidocaine w/ vasoconstrictor
6.6 mg/kg
3.0 mg/lb
what is the MRD of mepvacaine w/o vasoconstrictor
6.6 mg/kg
3.0mg/lb
what is the MRD of mepivacaine w/ vasoconstrictor
6.6mg/kg
3.0 mg/lb
what is the MRD of prilocaine w/o vasoconstrictor
6.0mg/kg
2.7 mg/lb
what is the MRD of prilocaine w/ vasoconstrictor
6.0 mg/kg
2.7 mg/lb
if you exceed MRD does the patient automatically OD?
no, when exceeding there is a greater likelihood of OD arising
when would OD happen at the dosage below the calculated MRD
hyper responders
how do you determine doses if two drugs are used
the total dose of both local anesthetics not exceed the lower of the two maximum doses for the individual agent
what is the potency, metabolism , onset of action and half life of lidocaine
- the standard
- liver
- rapid 2-3 mins
- 1.6 hours
what is the MRD of lidocaine
-4.4 mg/kg
- absolute max of 300 mg
- 8 cartridges will be max #
what is the max epinephrine with lidocaine in a healthy patient
0.2mg
what is the max epinephrine with lidocaine on a cardio patient
0.04 mg
what is the maximum dose of lidocaine with epi limited to
- maximum amount of epinephrine can be given
- lowest possible dosage of lidocaine needed
what was the first amide to be marketed and replace procaine
lidocaine
what is the duration of onset difference between procaine and lidocaine
lidocaine is 2-3 mins and procaine is 6-10 mins
is there allergies to amide
virtually nonexistent
what is the gold standard for anesthetics
lidocaine
what are the types of lidocaine cartridges
- 2% without vasoconstrictor
- 2% with 1:50,000
-2% with 1:100,000
what is the potency, metabolism, onset of action, half life of mepivacaine
- similar to lidocaine
- liver
- rapid 1.5 to 2 mind
- 1.9 hours
what is the MRD of mepivacaine
- 4.4 mg/kg
- absolute maximum 300 mg
- 5.5 cartridges will be max #
describe mepivacaine
- mild vasodilating properties
- longer duration vs other agent without vasoconstrictor
3% mepivacaine plain provides:
-20-30 mins pulpal anesthesia
- 2-3 hours soft tissue anesthesia
