Q

What are nodes of Ranvier?

A

Small segments of nerve that do not contain myelin.
Have limited diffusion barriers for drugs to penetrate.
Therefore - may be primary site for LA’s to exert action.

Q

What is saltatory conduction?

A

This phenomenon significantly facilitates conduction speed along the axon, through large numbers of sodium channels which can generate an intense action potential to jump from node to node.

(it is the movement of an ation potential along the axon from one node of Ranvier to the next node. This increases the conduction velocity without needing to increase the diameter of an axon)

Q

What is the epineurium?

A

Connective tissue that SURROUNDS the perineurium and holds the fascicles together. (outer-most layer) ex: if you inadvertently inject LA directly into this layer, you’ll have prolonged “block” for 3 to 6 months.

Q

What is the function of Epi in administration with an LA?

A

Decreases total required LA dose, decreases uptake, increases duration of action, minimizes bleeding, serves as a MARKER for intravascular injection.

Q

Onset of action directly correlates to what?

A

LA Ionization

21
Q

What 3 LA’s produce vasoconstriction?

A

Cocaine, Lidocaine, and Ropivacaine

22
Q

What are the only PARENTALLY administered LA’s with vasoconstrictive properties?

A

Ropivacaine and Lidocaine - hence longer duration of action and lower incidence of LAST.

23
Q

A 
I - IV 
T - Tracheal 
I - Intercostal
C - Caudal
P - Paracervical
E - Epidural
B - Brachial Plexus
S - Subarachnoid, sciatic, femoral
S - Subcutaneous
24
Q

Give an example of tumescent LA administration.

A

Liposuction

25
Q

Acid + Acid = ?

Base + Base = ?

A

more nonionized or un-ionized

26
Q

Base + Acid = ?

A

More ionized

27
Q

Will an induction with sodium thiopental be faster if the patient is acidotic or alkalotic?

A

Faster

28
Q

Mixing a weak acid with a low pH solution may lead to what?

A

The formation of precipitate (phenergan and toridal).

29
Q

The ____ the fetal pH, the ____ the amount of LA in the ionized form in the fetus.

A

Lower, greater (the greater the ion trapping)

30
Q

Ester’s are derivatives of what acids?

A

Benzoic acid.

31
Q

How does cocaine differ from other anesthetics?

A

Causes vasoconstriction and it is only given topically.

32
Q

Is normal Hgb in Fe++ or Fe+++? Why does it matter?

A

Fe++. Fe+++ is methemoglobin and will not release O2, therefore hypoxia can occur

33
Q

What is PABA?

A

Para aminobenzoic acid - preservative of the ester.

34
Q

Which of the following determines the peak plasma concentration? Total dose, volume, or concentration?

A

Total dose

35
Q

Tissue sites with an increased blood flow will do what to absorption?

A

Increases it.

36
Q

Lidocaine plasma concentration clinical signs at 0 - 5 mcg/ml?

A

Lightheadedness, tinnitus, circumoral and tongue numbness.

37
Q

Lidocaine plasma concentration clinical signs at 5 - 10 mcg/ml?

A

Visual disturbances & muscular twitching

38
Q

Lidocaine plasma concentration clinical signs 10 - 15 mcg/ml?

A

muscular twitching, convulsions, and unconciousness

39
Q

Lidocaine plasma concentration clinical signs at 15 - 20 mcg/ml?

A

Unconsciousness and Coma

40
Q

Lidocaine plasma concentration clinical signs at 20 - 25 mcg/ml?

A

Coma, Respiratory depression, CVS depression

41
Q

What is the preservative of Ester LAs?

A

PABA

42
Q

What is the preservative of Amide LAs?

A

methyparaben

43
Q

What causes methemoglobinemia?

A

the metabolite o-tuildine (produced what using prilocaine) which oxidizes hgb and Methgb, causing the patient to develop tissue hypoxia, acidosis, and a grayish-colored cyanosis.

44
Q

What is the reversal and dose for methemoglobinemia?

A

Methylene blue, 1 mg/kg

45
Q

What can aid in the prevention of LAST?

A

pre-treatment with benzodiazepines

46
Q

What is used to treat LAST and what is the dosing?

A

Intralipid, Bolus 20% 1.5 ml/kg over 1 minute, continuous infusion of 0.25 ml/kg/min, double rate if BP returns but remains low. (must run for a minimum of 30 minutes)

47
Q

Where do you NOT use Epi?

A

Fingers, nose, toes, hose

48
Q

What group of people should we avoid using EMLA cream in?

A

< 12 months of age

EMLA is Lido and Prilocaine

49
Q

Lidocaine (2345678)

A

Molecular weight: 234 g/mol, % protein bound: 56, pKa: 7.8
