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
🗑
What follows the nerve impules?   show
🗑
show It opens the Na channels and massive amounts of Na ions enter the cell - as the interior of the cell becomes more (+) action potential develops.  
🗑
When is the cell membrane refractory?   show
🗑
show Block Na channels by binding directly to intracellular voltage dependent Na channels - cell cannot depolarize due to blocking Na influx.  
🗑
***Does blocking the Na channels alter the membrane potential?   show
🗑
What are the 3 states of the membrane?   show
🗑
show In the activated and inactive states. So LA activity is both voltage and time dependent  
🗑
4 things that affect sensitivity to blockade:   show
🗑
Chemistry of LA:   show
🗑
show Either an ester or amide linkage.  
🗑
LA are ***ALL weak bases:   show
🗑
Ester metabolism:   show
🗑
show Intrathecal injections rely on their absorption into the blood stream for metabolism - most often Tetracaine  
🗑
Amide metabolism:   show
🗑
What is Methemoglobinemia?   show
🗑
What causes Methemoglobinemia?   show
🗑
How do you treat methemoglobinemia?   show
🗑
Lipid solubility correlates with...   show
🗑
Protein binding correlates with...   show
🗑
show Onset of action  
🗑
Define pKa:   show
🗑
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
🗑
show Lidocaine (xylocaine), Mepivicaine (carbocaine), Ropivicaine, Bupivicaine (marcaine), Etidocaine (duranest 1%) - they all have 2 I's in their name but know both names.  
🗑
Novocaine/procaine dose:   show
🗑
show Max: 12mg/kg Max with EPI: 14mg/kg DOA: 30-60m DOA with EPI: 30-90m  
🗑
Pontocaine/tetracaine dose:   show
🗑
show Max: 3mg/kg DOA: 30-60m  
🗑
Lidocaine/xylocaine dose:   show
🗑
show Max: 4mg/kg Max with EPI: 7mg/kg DOA: 45-90m DOA with EPI: 120-360m  
🗑
Ropivicaine dose:   show
🗑
show Max: 2.5mg/kg Max with EPI: 3.2mg/kg DOA: 120-240m DOA with EPI: 180-420m  
🗑
show Max: 6mg/kg Max with Epi: 8mg/kg DOA: 120-180m DOA with EPI: 180-420m  
🗑
Why is max dose with EPI higher?   show
🗑
show IV regional anesthetic on upper or lower extremity.  
🗑
show 2 IV's - one in hand of surgical arm, monitors, o2, and sedation. Esmarch to wrap arm from fingers to tourniquet.  
🗑
show Pt. may get pain at site of tourniquet so the lower portion can be inflated and the upper portion deflated.  
🗑
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  
🗑
Cuff time:   show
🗑
show Lidocaine 0.5% without EPI, 40-50cc = 200-250mg then remove IV.  
🗑
Bier Block complications:   show
🗑
show Circumoral and tongue numbness, lightheadedness, tinnnitus, visual disturbances, muscle twitching, unconciousness, convultions, coma, respiratory arrest, CV collapse.  
🗑
show O2 to raise the seizure threshold, ETT, hyperventilate (to decrease CO2 and decrease blood flow to brain), benzos, barbs, support CV collapse.  
🗑
show Bupivicaine due to long 1/2 life, blocks cardiac Na channels and dissociates very slowly.  
🗑
show Digits, ankles, brachial plexus, lower extremities, penile.  
🗑
show NO - it can cause necrosis.  
🗑
List structures you will go through with Epidurals:   show
🗑
show Put drop of fluid in hub of needle and insert slowly and when fluid gets sucked in you are in epidural space.  
🗑
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.  
🗑
show 3-7cm  
🗑
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
🗑
show Pt will exhibit ss of spinal - they will have a block.  
🗑
show No - always pull back 1st and then give test dose.  
🗑
show 1-2cc per dermatome.  
🗑
Where is the epidural placed?   show
🗑
Drugs used for epidurals:   show
🗑
show Entering epidural space thru the sacral hiatus in kids. Penetrates sacrococcygeal ligament - between sacral cornua above the coccyx.  
🗑
What drugs are used for Caudals?   show
🗑
show 33 total - 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, 4 coccygeal.  
🗑
What types of needles are used for spinals?   show
🗑
