Good choice of LA if a vasoconstrictor is contraindicated
Mepivacaine (weak vasodilator)
No Epi in what LA
Mepivacaine
Prilocaine
Least toxic LA
Prilocaine
Risk for methemoglobinemia
Prilocaine
Benzocaine (topical)
Highly soluble LA and high diffusion through bone
Articaine
Good choice for re-administration, CV or liver disease
Articaine
Most potent/ toxic LA
Bupivacaine
Not available without Epi
Bupivacaine
In terms of diffusion of drug through the nerves, what will a greater lipid solubility do
Enhance diffusion
Great lipid solubility =
more potent = need less of the drug
High overdose of LAs causes CNS
depression
Moderate overdose of LAs, initial CV
stimulation
High overdose of LAs, CV
depression
2 vasoconstrictors
epinephrine
levonordefrin
Do vasoconstrictors increase or decrease duration of LA
increase
What provides hemostasis at injection site
vasoconstrictors
Vasoconstrictors lower absorption rate of LA which leads to less
risk of toxicity
More effect of α receptors
levonordefrin
Mostly affects beta receptors
epinephrine
MRD of epinephrine
0.2 mg (healthy)
0.04 (CV ds)
MRD of levonordefrin
1.0 mg (healthy)
0.2 mg (CV ds)
Absolute contraindication of LA
allergy
If taking a H2 blocker
lower dosage of lidocaine
If taking a CNS depressant
Lower all amides
If taking a beta blocker
lower all amides
If patient is pregnant
Use lidocaine or prilocaine
If the patient has liver disease use
articaine
Absolute contraindications for vasodilators (8)
MI/coronary bipass
uncontrolled hypertension
uncontrolled angina pectoris
uncontrolled arrhythmias
uncontrolled hyperthyroidism
sulfite allergy
glaucoma

Physician consult
New FDA law with carpules
Label as 1.7 ml if can not guarantee all carples have exactly 1.8 ml
2% solution, how many mg/carpule
2% = 20mg/ml X 1.8ml/carpule = 36 mg/carpule
What are the two buffering agents in a carpule
sodium chloride
sodium hydroxide
What is the vasoconstrictor in the carpule
EPI or Levonordefrin
Vasoconstrictor preservative that causes allergic reactions
Sodium bisulfate
Prior to 1984 LA solutions without EPI added what as a preservative
methylparaben (high allergic reactions)
LAs cause reversible local anesthesia by preventing what 2 things
generation and conduction of impulses
LAs provide a chemical
block
LAs are membrane
stabilizing drugs
LAs inhibit and bind what channel
Na+ channels
LAs are a __ dependent blockade
state (only binds what firing)
What nerves are more sensitive to LAs
Small diameter nerves
What nerves require more volume of LAs
Large diameter nerves
Topical delivery of LAS have higher what
concentration and toxicity
What type of delivery of LA is more effective
Submucosal (concentrations are lower because placed right on nerve)
2 groups of LAs
esters and amides
Which type of LA has more allergic reactions
esters
