Q

how does inflammed tissue affect LA absorption

A

is decreases the pH of the tissue which decreases the amount of non-iodized form of the LA meaning less gets into the nerve

Q

Effect of beta blockers on LA concentrations

A

taking beta blockers slows down heart conduction and blood flow and thus causes LA to be in circulation longer

Q

What is the initial effect of LA in toxic concentration, then second effect at higher levels

A

first they inhibit inhibitory neurons = convulsions

higher doses inhibit inhibitory and excitatory = CNS depression, coma, death
