LAs Flashcards
max dose: cocaine
3 mg /kg
anomalies with cocaine:
Heavily liver metabolized
Excreted unchanged by kidneys at higher percentage
Overall longer metabolism than most esters
Vasoconstriction! Unique among LAs
Causes SE of euphoria and increased SNS outflow
max dose: procaine
7 mg / kg
Special notes on procaine:
Increased incidence of CNS effects
increased PO-Nausea
Metabolites interfere with sulfa abx
max dose: Tetracaine
3 mg /kg
Special notes Tetracaine:
primarily used in spinal / corneal anesthesia
Very long DOA for ester r/t increased protein binding
Higher risk for TNS
max dose: chloroprocaine
12 mg/kg
onset of chloroprocaine:
pKa
onset: fast
pKa = 8.7
given at higher concentrations 2-3%
Notes on chloroprocaine:
great for OB anesthesia r/t minimal protein binding = rapid metabolism
Max dose: Mepivicane
max dose: 4mg/kg or with epi 7mg/kg
notes on Mepivicaine:
less vasodilatory than Lido but similar drug
more CNS effects than lido
Max dose: etidocaine
4 mg/kg
Max dose: lidocaine
4 mg/kg or with epi 7 mg/kg
Notes on lidocaine:
spinal use associated with CE
2 active metabolites !
Max dose: Prilocaine
600 mg
Notes on prilocaine:
toxic metabolite: ortho-tuolidine -> r/f metheglobinemia
Max dose: Bupivicaine
2.5 mg/kg
