Question
Answer
show (-) charges on interior of cell, (+) charges on the extracellular surface  
🗑
What makes the cell polarized?   show
🗑
What propagates the nerve impulse along an axon?   show
🗑
show It increases the nerves permeability for Na influx - which lowers the voltage difference until threshold potential occurs.  
🗑
What does lowering the threshold potential do to the cell?   show
🗑
show During repolarization.  
🗑
Local MOA:   show
🗑
show NO - the resting membrane potential is still negative  
🗑
What are the 3 states of the membrane?   show
🗑
When do LA have the greatest affinity for Na channel activation?   show
🗑
show 1)Axonal diameter (smaller more sensitive), 2)Degree of myelenation, 3)Conduction velocity (the more rapid firing nerves are more sensitive), 4)Relative location in nerve bundle (closer to the mantle [outside] of the nerve bundle more sensitive)  
🗑
Chemistry of LA:   show
🗑
show Either an ester or amide linkage.  
🗑
show And they carry a slightly (+) charge at physiologic pH.  
🗑
show By pseudocholinesterase - bi-product of some are PABA so if pts. are allergic it is to the PABA bi-product  
🗑
show Intrathecal injections rely on their absorption into the blood stream for metabolism - most often Tetracaine  
🗑
show By liver - decreases in function or blood flow will decrease metabolism.  
🗑
What is Methemoglobinemia?   show
🗑
What causes Methemoglobinemia?   show
🗑
show Methylene blue 1-2mg/kg of 1% soln over 5 minutes.  
🗑
Lipid solubility correlates with...   show
🗑
Protein binding correlates with...   show
🗑
pKa correlates with...   show
🗑
show the pH at which the specific drug is 50% in the ionized and 50% in the unionized state. The ratio varies with the pH of the environment.  
🗑
show Unionized. The closer the pKa is to physiological pH the higher the concentration of nonionized that will cross the cell membrane.  
🗑
pKa of LA:   show
🗑
show All LA are weak bases so they are more unionized in a basic environment, meaning they will work better. Infected areas are acidic so LA will not work as well due to more of the drug being in the ionized state.  
🗑
List Ester locals:   show
🗑
List Amide locals:   show
🗑
Novocaine/procaine dose:   show
🗑
Nesacaine/Chloroprocaine dose:   show
🗑
show Max: 3mg/kg DOA: 90m-6h  
🗑
show Max: 3mg/kg DOA: 30-60m  
🗑
Lidocaine/xylocaine dose:   show
🗑
Mepivicaine/carbocaine dose:   show
🗑
show Max: 3mg/kg DOA: 90-240m  
🗑
show Max: 2.5mg/kg Max with EPI: 3.2mg/kg DOA: 120-240m DOA with EPI: 180-420m  
🗑
Etidocaine/duranest 1% dose:   show
🗑
Why is max dose with EPI higher?   show
🗑
Bier Block:   show
🗑
What supplies are needed for a Bier Block?   show
🗑
What is the purpose of using a double tourniquet for a Bier Block?   show
🗑
show Always inflate upper portion prior to surgery. Use 250mmHg for upper ext. and 300-350mmHg for lower extremity - may need higher pressure for HTN  
🗑
show Minumum of 20 minutes - if less then have to let cuff down slowly to prevent LA toxicity. Maximum 1.5-2 hours.  
🗑
show Lidocaine 0.5% without EPI, 40-50cc = 200-250mg then remove IV.  
🗑
Bier Block complications:   show
🗑
***What are the s/s of LA toxicity?   show
🗑
show O2 to raise the seizure threshold, ETT, hyperventilate (to decrease CO2 and decrease blood flow to brain), benzos, barbs, support CV collapse.  
🗑
Which LA is the most carditoxic?   show
🗑
show Digits, ankles, brachial plexus, lower extremities, penile.  
🗑
show NO - it can cause necrosis.  
🗑
List structures you will go through with Epidurals:   show
🗑
What is the hanging drop method?   show
🗑
show Use a touhy syringe with a few cc's air or preservative free saline. Slowly advance and tap on plunger in increments until there is a loss of resistance in epidural space.  
🗑
How far do you insert epidural catheter?   show
🗑
show 3cc's of 1.5% lidocaine with EPI 1/200K = Lido 45mg and EPI 15mcg.  
🗑
show To make sure you are not in the subarachnoid space or intravascular space.  
🗑
What are ss if in IV space with test dose?   show
🗑
What are ss if in subarachnoid space?   show
🗑
show No - always pull back 1st and then give test dose.  
🗑
***What is the dose per segment?   show
🗑
show Between L2-L5. L4-L5 is at level of iliac crest - when advancing touhy will feel crunch of Ligamentum Flavum.  
🗑
show Chloroprocaine 2-3%, Lidocaine 1-2%, Mepivicaine 1-2%, Bupivicaine 0.25-0.75%, Ropivicaine 0.1-0.5%  
🗑
What is a Caudal?   show
🗑
What drugs are used for Caudals?   show
🗑
show 33 total - 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, 4 coccygeal.  
🗑
show Quinke (flat), Sprotte, whitacre (pencil point).  
🗑
List the spinal medications:   show
🗑
Spinal med baracity:   show
🗑
show At superior iliac crest.  
🗑
T4:   show
🗑
show Xiphoid process.  
🗑
show Umbilicus.  
🗑
Absolute contraindications:   show
🗑
Relative contraindications:   show
🗑
show Prior back sx, communication issues, complicated sx.  
🗑
show NS blockade resulting in vasodilation. Decreased CO and BP due to decreased venous return. Decreased HR if block higher than T4. Hypotension can cause nausea. Vasodilation can cause hypothermia.  
🗑
show Blockade of intercostal muscles.  
🗑
Order "differential" of blockade:   show
🗑
What is the dermatome blockade?   show
🗑
show Hypotension, N&V (treat hypotension), PDPH (post dura puncture headache or wet tap)  
🗑
How do you treat PDPH?   show
🗑
show Severe frontal and occipital HA, tinnitus, diplopia (light sensitivity) - worsens with sitting and standing.  
🗑
How do you prevent PDPH?   show
🗑
show Above T4 decreases HR, tingling of the fingers - C8=middle, C7=pointer, C6=thumbs  
🗑
show T1-4  
🗑
