What are the 2 different kinds of local anesthetics? What are the 4 distinguishing factors.
AMINOESTERS AND AMINOAMIDES
1. Differences in Metabolism
2. Difference in Duration
3. Allergy Potentials
(MAD)
How are esters metabolized?
Esters: metabolism is catalyzed by plasma and tissue CHOLINESTERASE via HYDROLYSIS- occurs RAPIDLY throughout the body.
How are amides metabolized?
In the LIVER by CYP1A2 & CYP3A4 (cytochrome enzymes), therefore a significant blood level may develop with rapid absorption.
Which are shorter acting, amides or esters?
ESTERS
Which are longer acting, esters or amides; explain?
AMIDES. Before they havve to be absorbed from the site of injection, taken into the bloodstream and then taken to the liver to be metabolized.
Most likely to cause an allergic reaction: ESTERS OR AMIDES?
ESTERS
List the different ester local anesthetics and give their brand name along with the generic names.

2. Ropivacaine (Naropin- think, a NARROw ROPe)
3. Bupivacaine (Sensorcaine, Marcaine)
4. Articaine (Septocaine)think doing ART in SEPTember)
5. Lidocaine (Xylocaine)
6. Mepivacaine (Carbocaine)
Explain allergies between esters and amides.
Allergies to amides are extremely rare. There is NO CROSS ALLERGY among the amide class OR BTW AMIDE and ESTER agents.
If allergic to procaine what can you use or not use.
You can NOT use any of the other ESTER agents but you can use any of the AMIDES.
If allergic to Lidocaine can you use any of the other amides; can you use esters?
Yes, if allergic to Lidocaine, you can substitute any of the other AMIDE local anesthetics or use the ESTERS.
What are the main components of the general structure of a local anesthetic molecule?
1. An intermediate Chain (ester or amide linkage)
2. Hydrophilic End (quaternary amine)
3. Lipophilic End (Lipid soluble Portion- Benzene ring).
Which are more lipophilic and protein bound, esters or amides?

The longest acting ester is ...
CHLOROPROCAINE
The anesthetic block onset in Type A (beta, gamma and delta) fibers is---------------- and they are all lightly/heavily myelinated?
The anesthetic block onset is Intermediate and they are all heavily myelinated.
What nerve fiber is responsible for PREGANGLIONIC AUTONOMIC VASOMOTOR? Describe it's myelination and onset of anesthetic block.
TYPE B NERVE FIBERS have PREGANGLIONIC AUTONOMIC VASOMOTOR FXN- they are lightly myelinated and have an early onset
Which TYPE of nerve fibers have an early onset? what are they and what are their fxn?
Type C fibers have an EARLY onset. They are the SYMPATHETIC (Postganglionic Vasomotor) and Dorsal Root fibers (pain, warm & cold temp, touch)

BMR
Bupivacaine; Mepivacaine and Ropivacaine: b.c they possess an asymmetric carbon atom.
What is the significance of the hydrophilic portion of the local anesthetics?
It is the portion that is either going to be ionized or non-ionized.
Explain the process of the local anesthetic's access to the sodium channels (essentially, how they work)
When the anesthetic is injected, it reaches an equilibrium in the epineurium. The NON-IONIZED portion enters the nerve. Once inside the AXOPLASM, the drug reequilibrates and the IONIZED fraction attaches to the local anesthetic receptor on the inside of the sodium channel- and causes a block.
Why is epinephrine added to local anesthetics...explain also, the OFFSET of the LOCALs.
Goal of LOCAL: ACT at site of injection. When the body transports the local from that site, OFFSET occurs.
EPINEPHRINE is added to ensure MINIMAL BLOOD LOSS AND MINIMAL DRUG DISTRIBUTION through VASOCONSTRICTION of the vessels in that area.
Are local anesthetics ACIDIC OR BASIC DRUGS?
BASIC DRUGS
How does pka factor into the function/onset of local anesthetics?
The HIGHER the pKa, the slower the onset. The LOWER the pKa (or closer to physiologic pH) the faster the onset. B/c, the closer to 7.4 the more NON-ONIZED = BETTER NERVE PENETRATION and FASTER ONSET. Remember, when pKa is closer to pH there is a 50/50 chance of non-ionized/ionized and more drug is available in the nonionized form (what you want)
Explain relationship btw pH and pKa in Bases
pH >pKa ; NON-IONIZED
pH = pKa; 1/2 Non & 1/2 ION
pH <pKa; Ionized primarily
How does protein binding affect the drug's duration of action.
The higher the drug's protein binding, the higher the drug's receptor affinity and therefore, the LONGER THE DURATION OF ACTION.
Which local anesthetic is the fastest acting one?
CHLOROPROCAINE

1mg of epi or 1000mcg of epi /ml
1/200,000 of epi--------? of epi per ml

and no more than 30mls in 1 hour or 0.3mg (300mcg)
On which LA agents does the addition of epinephrine have the maximum effect?
The SHORTER-DURATION AGENTS (epi will SIGNIFICANTLY extend the duration of these agents b/c the longer the LA inherently acts, the less change/influence epi will have on it's duration b/c epi will wear off b-4 the LA does. However, with the SHORTER ACTING LA, adding EPINEPHRINE will INCREASE the duration of action.
What conc of epi provides optimal degree of vasoconstriction when used with liedocaine for epidural or intercostal blockage?
1:200,000 concentration.
The addition of epinephrine with the LA decreases/increases all aspects of clinical properties except what?
Addition of epinephrine INCREASES degree of motor or sensory blockade, duration and area of blockade. DECREASES ONSET TIME AND PEAK PLASMA CONCENTRATION (except in SPINAL anesthesia b/c adding will increase onset time in spinal anesthsia.). Think of onset as the absorption of the LA, therefore, if not being absorbed quickly b/c of vasoconstriction, then 'Onset" is decreased.
Explain how epi decreases PEAK PLASMA CONC of LA....what does it mean.
PPC means the liklihood of producing TOXICITY. Toxicity is secondary to high absorption of the LA; therefore, adding epinephrine which causes vasoconstriction will decrease absorption systemically and thus DECREASE the likelihoodof toxic levels of the LA.

What are the clinical manifestations of LAST (local anes systemin toxicity)
Cardiac Arrest; Respiratory Arrest, Seizures, Acidosis.
How do LA affect fetal circulation?
Fetal pH is lower than the maternal pH (7.2- more acidotic than mom). This may result in high fetal levels of local anesthetics
Explain the physiology of LA injected into infected wounds?
LA are BASIC; wounds are ACIDOTIC. LA are INEFFECTIVE in infected wounds b/c the lipid solubility of local anesthetics is diminished in an acidotic environment d/t an increased concentration of the ionized, water soluble form of the drug. This prevents the loss of absorption into the nerve and thereby prevents access to the site of action. (remember- BASES IN ACIDS IONIZE)
How does CARBONATION affect the LAs.
Carbonation speeds the onset and intensity of action of neural blockade b/c CO2 lowers the pH within the nerve, ionizes the lipid form of the LA = increases concentration = more ionize drug to act on sodium channels. (pg 71)
Sodium bicarb addition to LA does what?
Increases the pH = increases conc of non-ionized form = increased lipid solubility = more rapid onset of action. (pf 71)
Explain how ion-trapping is implicated in the complications of LA toxicity.
LA drug overdose = pt ACIDOTIC 2ary to hypoxia and resp depression = BASIC DRUG IN ACIDIC ENVIRON equals IONIZED- therefore drug's not able to cross BBB = ENHANCED CNS TOXICITY. (pg 71)
