70
Q

Why might you need to use higher doses of local anesthetic in injured tissue than normal tissue? Note that injured tissue has slightly lower pH than normal tissue.

A
  • Have secondary or tertiary amines with pKa 8-9
  • At pH 7.4, they are mainly protonated with some neutral species
  • The neutral species goes into the membrane and binds to voltage sensitive Na+ channels on inside of neural membrane
  • When the pH is lower, there is even less neutral species reducing the concentration of in the cell, so you need higher doses
