Q

Lidocaine Absorption

A

Systemic absorption depends on vascularity of the area. More vascular = higher blood concentrations

Q

Lidocaine : Contraindications/ Considerations

A

Newborns and elderly have prolonged 1/2 lives

Amide Local Anesthetic –> Metabolism in liver, risk for accumulation in liver failure

Propranolol and Cimetidine can inhibit hepatic blood flow and increase accumulation

Risk for LAST

Q

Bupivacaine: Contraindications and Considerations

A

High affinity for myocardial sodium channels, very high risk for cardiac toxicity

Prolonged 1/2 in Newborns and Elderly

Amide Local Anesthetic –> Metabolism in liver, risk for accumulation in liver failure

Propranolol and Cimetidine can inhibit hepatic blood flow and increase accumulation
