LA’s inhibit peripheral nerves in the following order
B fibers > C fibers > small diameter A fibers > large diameter A fibers
LA’s can bind to VG channels in which states
active and inactive states
LA’s bind to which subunit on VgNa channel
alpha
describe resting state
-70mV, channel is closed
describe active state
-70 to +35mV
when threshold potential is reached, channel opens
open channel allows Na to follow concentration gradient (outside to inside)
describe inactive state
channel is closed
inactivation gate plugs channel until RMP is re established
restoration of RMP converts channel from inactive state to resting state. at this point, the nerve is ready to be stimulated again
what do LA’s do to RMP and TP
have no effect on TP and RMP
3 things that influence RMP
- chemical force (concentration gradient)
- electrostatic counter force
- Na/K/ATPase (3 Na out for every 2 K in)
what does decreased serum K do to RMP
becomes more negative
what does increased serum K do to RMP
becomes more positive
TP and primary electrolyte
-55, Ca2+
repolarization
occurs when K leaves the cell or Cl- enters the cells
cell is resistant to subsequent depolarization during during refractory period because Na channels are in the closed inactive state
henderson hasslebach equation
primary determinant of onset of LA
pKa
-if the pKa is further away from pH of blood, less lipophilic availability and therefore longer OOA
primary determinant of potency of LA
lipophilicity (via aromatic ring)
-easier time diffusing through epineurium
-more lipophilic means more potent and longer DOA
does the ionized or non ionized species of LA bind to VgNa channel
ionized
what do vasoconstrictors do to LA activity
prolong effect by decreasing uptake
are LA’s acids or bases?
is the pH low or high
weak base with low pH to guard against precipitation
why can we predict that >50% of LA will exist in ionized state when it enters the blood stream
weak based with pKa > physiologic pH so a greater fraction will exist in the ionized state
what 3 paths can a LA travel after its injected near a peripheral nerve?
- can diffuse into nerve
- can diffuse into surrounding tissue and bind to neighboring proteins
- can diffuse into systemic circulation
basic structure (3 parts) of a LA molecule includes what and what is their significance
true allergy is more likely with
esters because of para amino benzoic acid (PABA) metabolite
is there cross sensitivity in the amide group
no, not like the ester group
COO
ester
NHCO
amide
does the ionized or non ionized species bind to the alpha subunit of the inside of the VgNa channel
the non ionized
explain why chlorprocaine has a fast onset
the pKa is high which means its further from the blood pH and less ionized species are available which would make you think the OOA is increased. However, because it it not potent it is given in large doses and the more molecules creates a mass effect which explains why it still has a rapid onset
why does .75% bupiv have a faster OOA than .25% bupiv
more molecules
what happens to a LA with more intrinsic vasodilating ability
increase rate of uptake and shorten DOA by up to 1/3
acid does what to a proton
donates
HA–> H+ + A-
base does what to a proton
accepts
B+ + H- = BH+
