Local Anesthetics & Nerves Flashcards
Esters
Plasma/tissue cholinesterase metabolism via hydrolysis (rapid) → shorter-acting
*Atypical cholinesterase ↑toxicity risk
↑allergy potential & cross-reactivity
Patient w/ ester allergy = avoid all ester local anesthetics
Procaine, Chloroprocaine, & Tetracaine
Procaine pKa
8.9
Procaine % Ionized
97%
Procaine Protein Binding
6%
Procaine Onset
Slow
Procaine DOA
60-90min
Procaine Max Dose w/o Epi
12mg/kg IBW
Chrloroprocaine Onset
FAST
Chloroprocaine DOA
30-60min
Chloroprocaine Max Dose w/o Epi

Tetracaine pKa
8.5
Tetracaine % Ionized
93%
Tetracaine Protein Binding
94%
Tetracaine Onset
Slow
Tetracaine DOA
180-600min
Tetracaine Max Dose w/o Epi
3mg/kg
Amides
Hepatic metabolism via CYP1A2 & CYP3A4 (slower) → longer-acting
Require transport to liver for metabolism
↑lipophilicity & protein binding
↓allergic reaction potential (extremely rare)
No cross-reactivity or between ester & amide agents
