A

False.
Esters: do not require liver metabolism but produce PABA.
Amides: requires liver metabolism.

92
Q

Which drugs can be added to local anesthetics?

A

Epi: prolong duration of block.
Bicarb: faster onset and longer duration; less sting on injection.
Can add two local anesthetics together (lidocaine + bupivacaine) but may cause increased toxicity.

93
Q

A

Benzocaine and prilocaine (many species).

Benzocaine and tetracaine (cats).

94
Q

Which local anesthetics cause chondrotoxicity?

A

When injected directly into the nerve (rare).
Spinal lidocaine worse than bupivacaine.
PRESERVATIVE: free versions should be used for epidurals and spinal anesthesia.

96
Q

Which local anesthetics cause Systemic toxicity? (WHAT WE’RE WORRIED ABOUT)

A

Lidocaine (CV signs comes later).

Bupivacaine (CV signs come first).

What are the effects of NSAIDS?

A

Analgesia, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic.

103
Q

What is the clinical use of NSAIDs?

A

Mild to moderate post op pain for days (PO).
