18
Q

What specifically causes ester elimination?

A

plasma cholinesterase deficiency (genetic OR acquired)

19
Q

What sets cocaine apart from other Ester locals?

A

partially metabolized by N-methylation and ester hydrolysis in the liver, also partially unchanged in the urine.

20
Q

Cocaine - why is it a problem?

A

Causes reuptake of norepineprhine by adrenergic nerve terminal, causing and increase in SNS tone.Board Q

21
Q

What are the amide locals? How can you tell easily?

A

Lidocaine (Xylocaine)
Bupivicaine (Marcaine)
Prilocaine (Citanest)
Ropivicaine (Naropin)

22
Q

Most commonly administered local?

A

Bupivicaine (Marcaine)

23
Q

How are Amides metabolized? What is significance?

A

microsomal enzymes in Liver, liver failure = increased DOA as well as cumulative effects.

24
Q

Prilocaine - Whats the deal?

A

metabolized to Ortho-tulidine (O-tulidine! O-tulidine!)

- an oxidizing compound which converts hemoglobin to methemoglobin.

25
Q

What is methemoglobinemia and why is it a problem? What will clinical presentation be?

What do you treat it with?

A

Does not carry O2 well, leads to hypoxia, cyanosis. (blue)

Tx with 02 and methelyne blue 1-2mg/kg, 7 mg/kg max

26
Q

pKa

A

determines ONSET

since locals are WEAK BASES, prepared in acid solutions with slightly elevated pKa values above physiologic pH

27
Q

Lipid solubility

A

POTENCY - and to a lesser degree DOA

28
Q

protein binding

A

Duration, connected to lipid solubility

(increased DOA due to the difficulty it has dissocating from NA+ channel)

chloroprocaine possessed virtally NO protein binding, therefore short DOA

29
Q

Onset is delayed if??

Why??

A

Onset is delayed if:
drugs’s pKa is further from 7.4
pH of environment injected into is

30
Q

pKa of Common Locals….

  1. Bupiv
  2. Lido
  3. Prilo
  4. Ropiv
  5. Tetra
  6. Cocaine
  7. Chloroprocaine
A
  1. 8.1
  2. 7.9
  3. 7.9
  4. 8.1
  5. 8.5
  6. 8.7
  7. 8.7
31
Q

Protein Binding of Locals

short acting locals:

intermediate acting:

long acting:

A

short:
procaine, chloroprocaine

intermediate: (LMP)
lidocaine, mepivacaine, prilocaine

long: BET (you can BET on them!)
bupivacaine (and rop)
etidocaine
tetracaine

32
Q

Progression of blockade

A

ATP, TP, MVP (Energy, Toilet paper, MVP)

Autonomic, temperature, pain, touch, pressure, motor, proprioception

33
Q

LAST

A

board loves this
Bupivicaine = cardiotoxicity - goes from good to code very quickly

lidocaine = more progression, more of a clue

34
Q

LAST:

Plasma [ ] of LA:

A

r/t volume of dose, vascularity of injection site

(airway, intercostal, interplueral, caudal, BP, peripheral, spinal)

use of EPI: less systemic absorption, probably quicker onset

35
Q

Epi

What does it do? Where to avoid?

A

produces vasoconstriction

Finger, nose, toes, hoze,

36
Q

LA Toxicity

Early symptoms

A 
Circumoral numbness
Tinitus 
vertigo, blurred vision
drowsiness
restlessness, muscle twitching
metalic taste in mouth
37
Q

LA Toxicity

Late symptoms

What is TX??

A

LOC -> Coma
seizures (dangerous - CMRO2 is not lowered by LA)
apnea
CV depression

TX is supportive in nature.

38
Q

LAST
Cardiac: What are s/s? Why?

Which local most implicated?

A

Interaction with cardiac NA+ channels

first manifested as hypotension
depression of conduction and automaticity
depression of contractility 
dysrhythmias
high grade A-V block

BUPIVICAINE is selectively cardiotoxic, magnified in parturient

39
Q

Intralipid

How does it work? What is %? What is dose?

A

Lipids accelerate the removal of local from circulation

1.5ml/KG (weight based) inrused over first minute
repeat every 3-5 minutes to maximum of 3 ml/kg
continuous = 0.25 ml/kg/min - until HEMODYNAMIC Recovery-

40
Q

What is ion trapping?

what block is it most common?

What locals are most common for this to occur with?

A

local crosses placenta and becomes more ionized in relatively acidic fetus

“becomes trapped” - may cayse systemic toxicity in fetus

noted with paracervical blocks

less likely to happen with esters due to rapid metabolism, also drugs HIGHLY protein bound more slowly cross barrier.

Most common Locals: Mepivicaine & prilocaine (not highly protein bound)

41
Q

Why specifically what does adding NaHCO3 do to LAs?

A 
Adding NaHCO3 (Bicarb) will raise the pH of the solution.  This speeds onset of block because more of the LA exists in the unionized form (AKA buffering)
lidocaine -> 1mEq/10 ml of local
bupivicaine -> 0.1 mEq/20 ml of local (will PPT with higher volume of bicarb)
42
Q

Active metabolites of Lidocaine?

A

MEGX - monothylglycinexylidide

GX - glycinexylidide

43
Q

EMLA cream is what?

A

eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine
5% EMLA cream topically applied for 45 minutes or more greatly reduces the pain associated with venipuncture in the pediatric population

methemoglobinemia possible but rare (topical sprays like cetacaine can be a problem in GI suites)
