local anesthetics Flashcards
more soluble a gas is
slower onset
less soluble
faster onset
if a drug has 1 I in the name it is an
Ester and is destoryed by esterase which is in every tissue in the body
if a drug has 2 I’s it is an
amide
esters are converted
in the plasma by esterase enzymes
SHORT ACTING and not widely use
why do amides take lober to biotransform
converted in the liver by amidase
compared to esters that are converted in the plamsa
molecules with a positive charge are what in terms of solubility
they are water soluble and this is a problem because you need to inject an dhope that it gets into the neuron through the neuronal sheath
if it is water soluble it will not enter
the target of all anesthetics is the
Na receptor on the axon
shut it down
keep it from firing
patient will never feel the knife
electrical conduction Na K Na K Na K
neuron goes to sleep
unionized is
not charge
which means you can go through lipid soluble layers and this is where we want the drugs at
need a buffer
why is a infx an issue
more acidic and not as infective because it is ionized right away
faovirng the charged form
buffering
makes i more basic so that you are in a state that will remain unionized and allow for a shorten onset time
charge all has to do with cell penetration
why would you use epinephrine w/ lidocaine
vasoconstriction will keep the local anesthetic at the site longer
DKA
ph at which half of the drug is ionized and half is onionized
you w
why doesn’t the second injc of lidocaine work as well as the first
because o the buffering capacity at the injection site
buffer it yourself and you won’t run into problems
all local anesthetics promote vasodilation except
cocaine
nasal surgey this is the drug of choice
this is why we use Brier’s block
epinephrine
reduces blood flow
co-administration with CO2 saturated solutions increases intracellular levels of local anesthetic because
high intracellular CO2 produces a local acidosis which causes intracellular accumulation of cationic anesthetics
reduced response from repeated dosing)
Tachyphylaxis (
at pH 7.5 drugs are
unionized and pass through lipid membranes
In extracellular fluids drugs are buffered from
6 (bottle) to 7.4
why can Intralipid be used to reverse bupivacaine toxicity?
lipid solluble and intraplipid sucks it up
IV anesthestics
barbs (thipental methohexital) benzo (midazolam, diazepam) GABA propofol ketamine opioid (morphine tanil) misc sedative (etomidate)
inhaled anesthetics
make it RANE =volatile (liquid at room temp)
nitrous oxide
remain the primary INHIBITORY ion channels considered legitimate candidates of anesthetic action.
Chloride channels (γ-aminobutyric acid-A [GABAA] and glycine receptors) ETOH
and potassium channels (K2P, possibly KV, and KATP channels)
Excitatory ion channel targets for general anesthesia
Excitatory ion channel targets include those activated by acetylcholine (nicotinic and muscarinic receptors), by glutamate (amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazol-propionic acid [AMPA], kainate, and N-methyl-D-aspartate [NMDA] receptors), or by serotonin (5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors). Figure 25– 1 depicts the relation of these inhibitory and excitatory targets of anesthetics within the context of the nerve terminal.
balanced anethesia
inhaled anestheis
sedative hypnotic
opioid for pain mngmt
neuromuscular blocking for relaxation
monitored anesthesia
used when you need the pt conscious
local plus a sedative allowing the pt to respond
