Q

TYPE AND SIZE OF NERVE :

SEQUENCE OF BLOCK (3)

A

→ thin before thick nerve fibers
→ myelinated before unmyelinated
o because LA affects exposed areas of the myelinated nerve which are the nodes of Ranvier
→ C and small myelinated fibers (A-delta), before thick, myelinated (A-alpha and beta) fibers

38
Q

→ anesthetic solution is in contact with the nerve longer causing prolongation of intensity of analgesia

→ the longer it stays, the longer will be the intensity and duration; this has nothing to do with onset
→ vasoconstrictors are added so that anesthetic solution will stay longer in the area; it is not right away absorbed or brought away from the area being anesthetized
→ there are some anesthetics made without vasoconstrictors made for patients with medical conditions such as uncontrolled hypertension
