Q

In LA overdose, resp depression occurs, causing _ and _.

A

resp. depression
hypoxia
acidosis

38
Q

In LA over dose causing acidosis from respiratory depression, the acidosis could cause _ (increased/decreased) ionized LA in the brain which _ (increases/decreases) its ability to leave.

A

increased
decreases

-overdose is potentiated by the acidosis it causes by preventing it from leaving BBB bc its more ionized; higher CNS toxicity

39
Q

How to fix LA toxicity?

A

fix the acidosis is causes first, then treat toxicity

-can’t leave BBB with acidosis bc LA is more ionized

40
Q

Why would a fetus retain more LA than its mother?

A

fetal pH is lower, and more acidotic, so LA ionizes and leaves fetal system slower

-especially if mom is acidotic too.

41
Q

What will happen if LA is injected accidentally into septic tissue?

A

it will not reach the site of action due to the ACIDOTIC infected environment, it will ionize in the skin and linger

42
Q

Adding CO2 to LA has what effect?

A

Will diffuse readily into nerve, once in the nerve it will more readily accept H+ and ionize more, so there is a higher conc of LA at the site of action
-faster onset

43
Q

Adding bicarb to LA has what effect?

A

Improves diffusion of LA by making it more basic, increasing its NONionized portion which goes into nerve quicker = quicker onset!

-base+ base = NON ionized

44
Q

Lipid solubility of an LA is correlated with which factor?
A. Potency
B. Onset
C. Metabolism
D. Duration

A

A. Potency

45
Q

Dissociation constant (pKa) of an LA is correlated with which factor?
A. Potency
B. Onset
C. Metabolism
D. Duration

A

B. Onset

-lower pKa = higher portion of tertiary (diffusible/nonionized) state = faster onset

46
Q

Chemical linkage (ester/amide) of an LA is correlated with which factor?
A. Potency
B. Onset
C. Metabolism
D. Duration

A

C. Metabolism

-esters = HYDROLYZED in plasma
-amides = BIOTRANSFORMED in liver

47
Q

Protein binding of an LA is correlated with which factor?
A. Potency
B. Onset
C. Metabolism
D. Duration

A

D. Duration

-higher affinity for protein at receptor site = prolonged presence of LA at site of action

48
Q

The MORE lipid solubility an LA has, the _ (more/less) it diffuses and the _ (higher/lower) dose is required to be effective

A

more
lower

49
Q

The LOWER the pKa LA has, a _ (smaller/larger) amount of tertiary (nonionized) molecules exist which can diffuse and _ (speed/ slow) the onset.

larger
speed

= 45mg Lido + 15mcg Epi

70
Q

T/F My pt’s IV is just aight… they should be fine for a spinal block, right?

A

FALSE
-if they develop LAST you’re SOL
-have a GOOD IV and resusc tools ready

71
Q

T/F Negative needle aspiration means you definitely aren’t going intravascular with a LA

A

false!
there is a ~2% false negative aspiration rate

72

A

10+ beat

15+mmHg

-beta blocker, active labor, old age, and GA can mask this!

74
Q

Subtoxic test doses of intravascularly injected LA can cause s/s of mild systemic toxicity like:

excitation, auditory changes, metallic taste

-if fentanyl is part of test dose for laboring pts = sedation

all of this is true only if pt is NOT premedicated

Delayed (1-5min) presentation of LAST s/s indicates suggests _ or _ intravascular injection

A

partial or intermittent

79
Q

Immediate (<60sec) presentation of LAST suggests intravascular injection of LA with direct access to the _

A

brain

80
Q

LAST can present > _ min after injection so it’s important for CRNA to monitor them for _ mins afterwards.

A

> 15 min
30 min

81
Q

T/F LAST has a higher association with pts suffering from underlying diseases

A

true
-watch out for your older ASA 3-5 pts more closely

82
Q

You successfully gave a test dose of LA with no problem, however, when you give our pt a spinal injection, they start experiencing a reaction. Their symptoms almost resemble late signs of LAST but you’re not 100% positive. How will you proceed?

A

Absolutely treat this like it’s LAST.

-keep a low threshold to treat for LAST especially if atypical symptoms arise and they received more than a test dose

83
Q

Goal of LAST airway management:

A

prevent hypoxia and acidosis by maintaining their airway/ventilation

84
Q

1st line treatment for a seizure during LAST:

A

benzos!
-give versed, let them relax if possible, let LA wear off and either try again or cancel case if pt unstable

85
Q

Your pt starts seizing after receiving a standard dose of LA spinal injection. They appear to be breath-holding and their SpO2 is dropping. What’s your next move?

A

-stop seizure (benzos, small doses propofol (if not hypotensive), or sux)
-give O2/ LMA/ intubate

86
Q

Why should large doses of propofol be avoided in a pt seizing who is experiencing LAST ?

A

cardio depressive, will bottom out BP when pt reaches their postictal state

87
Q

Which drugs should be avoided during ACLS on a pt experiencing LAST?

A

-standard dose epi (use 10-100mcg boluses)
-VASOPRESSIN
-CCB/ Beta blockers
-LIDOCAINE/PROCAINAMIDE :) lol

-Amio is the DOC for ventricular arrhythmias

88
Q

If pt does not respond to lipid emulsion or vasopressors during ACLS when experiencing LAST, what is the next option for them?

A

cardiopulmonary bypass

-if at a smaller hospital, not a bad idea to call for a neighboring hospital for a transfer as soon as cardiac s/s come up

89
Q

Which type of LA is more likely to cause LAST?

A

Amides

90
Q

LA block voltage-gated _ channels which interrupts the _ and _ of nerve impulses in axons.

A

Na+ channels
initiation and propagation

91
Q

If LA is put in a basic solution, it _ (will/will not) carry a charge, and if it’s put in an acidic solution, it _ (will/will not) carry a charge.

A

will not (nonionized)
will (ionized)
