A 50 y/o, 60 kg female patient received a Lidocaine initial dose of 1 mg/kg with a subsequent infusion of 1.5 mg/kg/hour for 1.5 hours. How much total Lidocaine in mgs did she receive in the PACU?
60kg x 1 mg/kg = 60 mg 60 kg x 1.5 mg/kg = 90 mg (1 hour) (60 kg x 1.5mg/kg = 90 mg)/2 = 45 mg (30 minutes) 60+90+45 = 195 mg total!!! (Slide 59)

49
Lidocaine plasma concentration of ____ causes what? 1-5 mcg/ml = ? 5-10 mcg/ml = ?
1-5 = analgesia 5-10 = circum-oral numbness; tinnitus; skeletal muscle twitching; systemic HYPOtension; myocardial depression (slide 46)
50
Lidocaine plasma concentration of ____ causes what? 10-15 mcg/ml = ? 15-25 mcg/ml = ?
These are OD levels 10-15 = Sz's; unconsciousness 15-25 = apnea (2/2 affecting the pons and medulla oblongata); coma (slide 46)
51
Lidocaine plasma concentration of ____ causes what? > 25 mcg/ml
Cardiovascular depression!!!! (lipid rescue stat!) (slide 46)
52
Which procedure would you expect to see a high use of Lidocaine? (HINT: Castillo mentioned this)
EGD's Castillo gives a "boatload" of lidocaine in EGD's (per Castillo)
53
You're administering Lidocaine gtt to Castillo's mom so she can have a Naples-ectomy. What should you warn mother Castillo about?
You will hear a ringing sound (tinnitus), don't answer it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SO FUNNY 😑 Also will taste a metallic taste (Our torturer)
54
If we give Lido w/ Epi, should the dose be higher or lower? Why?
Higher, because the epi will vasoconstrict and "keeps the lidocaine more in place, [therefore] lesser intravascular, lesser s/e, lesser chances of OD" (Castrater)
55
Scene: It's been a long day. You're on your 8th sloppabotomy of the day and no one has come to lunch you. Suddenly, Arthur the hasty CRNA steps in and offers you a break. Despite knowing better you cave and allow him to lunch you. 30 mins later, you enter the OR to find the surgery team doing compressions on your pt. You look at Arthur and ask what happened? His response is "dude, she coughed so all I did was throw her lidocaine drip wide open and now her heart stopped". You look at the lido gtt which is empty and know the pt got the full bottle. WHAT DO YOU DO?
Lipid rescue!!!! and don't stop compressions until you administer the whole dose (whatever it may be) Also kick Arthur in the nads (Castillo's ethical dilemma)
56
