PHARMA & ANES Flashcards
General order of the loss of function
Pain Cold Warm Touch Proprioception Motor
Loss of sensation of pain, temperature, pressure & motor function w/o loss of consciousness
Regional anesthesia
Deposition of anesthesia in proximity to the main trunk
Nerve block
The distance of nerve fibers that should be in contact w/ anesthetic solution for effective anesthesia
8-10mm
Examples of regional anesthesia
Spinal anes
Epidural anes
Nerve block
Examples of Nerve Block
Mandibular NB
Infraorbital NB
Maxillary NB
Most common mandi block
Classical IAN block
True mandi block
Gow gates
NB that targets mid premolar area
Infraorbital NB
Nerves affected in Infraorbital NB
ASAN
MSAN
Required needle depth:
A. Classical IAN Block
B. Maxilary NB

Nerve Block, local infiltration, intraligamentary, intrapulpal
…
2 types of Local Infiltration Anesthesia
Soft tissue infiltration
Intra-bony infiltration
Types of ST Infiltration
Submucosal
Supra-periosteal
Subperiosteum
Field block
Inserting the needle beneath the mucosa
Submucosal
Inserting the needle beside periosteum
Supra-periosteal
Inserting the needle beneath periosteum
Subperiosteum
Most common palatal injection
Nasopalatine NB
Used for hemostasis, ST anesthesia
Interseptal
Cortical plate is penetrated with special burs and the solution is injected into the spongy bone
Intra-osseous
For max & man infiltration
A. Labial injection
B. Lingual/Palatal injection
Requires
A. 1.5mL solution
B. 0.3mL solution to avoid pain
Repeat use of needle
Cause Clostridium tetani infection
Most common syringe
Breech-loading metallic cartridge aspirating
Syringe used for alcoholic injections
Luer-lock syringe
Needle is made up of
Stainless steel and disposable
Weakest portion of the needle
Hub
Most common reason of allergic reaction in anes
Preservative
Examples of preservatives
Sodium bisulfite(0.5mg) - preserves vasocontrictor agents Methylparaben(1mg) - preserves local anesthesia
Allergic reaction of local anes
A. Due to
B. What type of hypersensitivity reaction
A. Antigen-antibody reaction
B. Type IV
Increases the incidence and severity of allergic reaction
Rapid injection of the solution
Function of vasoconstrictors
Prolongs the anes effect by decreasing the absorption of anesthesia
Examples of vasoconstrictors
Epinephrine
Levonordefrin
Phenylephrine
