Local anesthesia two Flashcards
t/f: if local anesthesia enters into the circulatory system it will cease to provide the desired effect.
true
t/f: Most local anesthetics have vasodilatation effect
true
_____ is the most potent vasodilator
Procaine:
the increase of absorption into the blood may lead to _____ _____ ______
potential systemic overdose
the only local anesthetic with constrictor
effect
cocaine
______ leads to Inhibition of catecholamine re-uptake
cocaine
_____ _____ has a poorly absorbed result except for cocaine.
Oral route of local anesthetics
____ _____ leads to Rapid absorption to mucous membrane
topical route
____ ____ has greatest % of anesthetics because it is the largest tissue mass in the body.
skeletal muscle
what are the two routes of drug elimination?
metabolic and excretory
t/f: ALL local anesthetics cross blood-brain barrier, and placenta
true
_____ _____ ____ is Hydrolyzed in plasma by pseudocholinesterase into paraaminobenzoic acid (PABA) .
ester local anesthesia
_______ is related to Allergic reaction
PABA (paraaminobenzoic acid)
____ ____ is about 1/2800 people and may lead to potential for toxicity of ester local anesthesics
Atypical pseudocholinesterase
t/f: the liver is the Primary biotransformation site for Amide local anesthetics
true
for a ASA IV to V patient with liver dysfunction, heart failure ____ _____ ____ are a relative contraindication
Amide local anesthetics
Blue Baby Syndrome
• Inherited blood disorder
• Atypical hemoglobin
– Unable to deliver oxygen efficiently
– Primary metabolite of Prilocaine can be the cause – S/S of patient: • Easily tired • Bluish tint on lip or skin
Methemoglobinemia
t/f: Kidneys are primary excretory organ of local anes.
true
in _____:
– Procaine appears as PABA (90%)
– 10% cocaine found
urine
t/f: Local anesthesia readily cross blood-brain barrier
true
Pharmacological of local anestheisa action is CNS_______
depression
Signs of CNS toxicty:
- Initial clinical signs/symptoms of CNS toxicity are Excitatory!!
– Numbness of tongue and circumoral region (symptoms)
– Slurred speech, shivering, A/V disturbances, Disorientation, tremor.. (signs)
– Luckily, lidocaine don’t have these s/s but mild sedation or drowsines
2) Higher level of CNS toxicity –> Tonic-clonic convulsion
3) Further increase
– cessation of seizure activity–> respiratory depression —> reparatory arrest
the following are systemic actions of local anesthesia on the _____ ____.
- Direct action on myocardium
– Produce myocardial depression
– Therapeutic advantage
– Management of hyper-excitable myocardium
• Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC)
• Ventricular tachycardia
cardiovascular system
t/f: LA (local anesthetics) have a direction action on peripheral vasculature.
true
t/f: Cocaine and Ropivacaine are vasoconstrictors
true
t/f: All other local anesthetics are vasodilators
true
