A Left Enantiomer is denoted with an ___ for _______ and a Right Enantiomer is denoted with an __ for _______
A Left Enantiomer is denoted with an “s” for SINISTER and a Right Enantiomer is denoted with an “r” for RECTUS
Which Local Anesthetics are Pure Isomers?
Ropivacaine (s)
&
Levobupivacaine (s)
What are the advantages of using Local Anesthetics that are S Enantiomers?
S Enantiomers are LESS Neuro & Cardio-toxic
How do Local Anesthetics work?
Stops Na+ Ions from going through Sodium Channels
Slows Depolarization
Local Anesthetics do not alter _____ or _____ potentials
Local Anesthetics does not alter RESTING MEMBRANE or THRESHOLD potentials
How do Local Anesthetics affect nerves with more activity and firing?
Faster Blockade d/t more frequently activated-open state
Local Anesthetics have a much lower affinity for ________ than they do Sodium Channels
Local Anesthetics have a much lower affinity for POTASSIUM ION CHANNELS than they do Sodium Channels
What Increases the Minimum Local Anesthetic Concentration (Cm) to produce a conduction block?
Larger Nerve Diameter
What factors Decrease Minimum Local Anesthetic Concentration?
Higher Frequency Nerves
&
Higher pH
How does the Minimum Local Anesthetic Concentration compare between Motor & Sensory Nerves?
Minimum concentration is 2X more for Motor than Sensory Nerves - easier to block Sensory Nerves
How do Epidurals & Spinals affect Local Anesthetic Minimum Concentration?
No effect on Minimum Concentration, but requires less amount d/t direct nerve access
