Height of patient (volume of subarachnoid space) Segmental level of anesthesia desired Duration of anesthesia desired
240
Subarachnoid Block (SAB) dose
Dose is more important than the concentration of drug (%) or the volume (mLs) of the solution injection.
241

242
_________of LA is important in determining spread of the drug.
Specific gravity
243
Hyperbaric

244
Additive to increase the specific gravity of a LA
glucose / dextrose = makes drug sink
245
Hypobaric
Hypobaric with distilled water as an additive then the drug will float
246
Segmental block in spinal means what for the epidural
epidural anesthesia is more pronounced because it soaks the area around the sc.

Drowsiness, facial twitch prior to seizure.
269
What promotes sz with LA's

270
Lidocaine @ _____ with circumoral numbness but not CV
5mcg/ ml
271
High LA plasma concentration causes.....
block cardiac Na+ channels Slow conduction of cardiac impulses -> prolonged PR interval & QRS widening
272
Accidental IV Bupivacaine causes
Precipitous hypotension, AV block, Cardiac dysrhythmias: SVTs, ST-Twave changes, PVCs, widening of QRS, V-tach
273
Predisposing factors for systemic toxicity CV effects
