Local Anesthetics - the drugs Flashcards
Its metabolite interferes with efficacy of sulfonamide antibiotics
Procaine
what LAs have significant 1st pass effect by the lungs
Bupivicaine
Lidoicaine
Prilocaine
Chloroprocaine duration after infiltration
30 min to 1 hr
LAs that come as pure enantiometrs
Ropivacaine
Levobupivacaine
*advantage = less toxic, easier to resuscitate in case of toxicity
What is the dose of Lidocaine for epidural placement?
It depends on the level of blockade required and the density of blockade required. If you want profound motor blockade at T4 for example and the epidural is placed at the L2-3 interspace that is about 10 segments. Say this person is average size – I would give 1.5ml per segments I wanted blocked – so I would give 15cc of 2% lidocaine. 15cc X 20mg/cc = 300mg of lidocaine. I would need to make sure that this amount did not exceed the maximum dose allowed which is 5mg/kg for plain lidocaine. If the patient was 70kg that is 350mg – so 15cc is O.K. If I wanted to give more I might add epi which would increase my maximum dose to 7mg/kg or 490mg.
Chloroprocaine Max Dose
12 mg/kg
Lidocaine uses?
- Regional/ neuraxial block
- Cough suppression
- Attenuate ICP/BP raise during laryngoscopy
- Attenuate reflex bronchospasm that may occur with airway instrumentation
- Suppress ventricular dysrhythmias
Tetracaine Max Dose
3 mg/kg
Cocaine toxicity sxs
cocaine ↓ reuptake of NE → leads to ↑ concentrations of NE
- restlessness, tremors, seizures & euphoria
- tachycardia/MI
