local # 2 Flashcards
structure of local anesthetic
aromatic end, intermediate chain, amine end
amide
0=c-n-r
ester
0=c-or
infiltration long and short acting
bupivicaine long acting, tetracaine short acting
peripheral block long and short acting
short-lidocaine, long- bupivicaine
SAB long and short acting
short- idocaine/procaine, long- bupivicaine or tetracaine with epi
epidural long and short acting
long- bupivicaine or ropivicaine with epi, short chloroprocaine
mechanism of action of locals
inhibit na+ influx through na specific ion channels in neuronal cell membrane.
what must locals be to cross cell membrane and exert action?
non-ionized and lipophilic,then ionized binds to sodium channel
pka procaine and onset
8.9 onset- slow
tetracaine pka
8.6 slow onset
bupivicaine and ropivicaine pka
8.1, moderate onset
pka chloroprocaine
9.1, but fast onset
lidocaine/etidocaine pka
7.7, fast onset
mepivicaine pka
7.6 fast onset
decreased pka =
fast onset
problem with local toxicity is when
local gets into plasma
higher absorption
intercostal>caudal>epidural>brachial plexus>sciatic nerve
elimination of locals
prilocaine>etidocaine>lidocaine>mepivacaine>bupivacaine
