we don't want for local use.
vascularity intravenous>tracheal>intercostal>cadal>paracervical>epidural?brachial plexus>sciatic>subcutaneous
The higher the pH the ____ absorbed .
less

mostly an issue for inflammation. Inflammation causes and acidotic state. More drug in ionized form and less absorption. Also can see tachyphylaxis (decreased efficacy of repeated doses) because the acidic formulation makes the area more acidic

intravenous>tracheal>intercostal>cadal>paracervical>epidural>brachial plexus>sciatic>subcutaneous
Tissue Perfusion

first S/A's seen?
Neurological
See this first
They can be nuerotoxic
Cirumoral numbness, tongue paresthesia, diziness, restlessness, aginitation complaints of tinnitus blurred vision
Muscle twitching shows headed into tonic-clonic seizures -Etido can cause at lower serum concentrations than the others
can reduces CBF and hyperventilate can mediate (benzodiazepines, thipental 1-2 mg/kg quickly terminates seizure)
Lidocaine – decreases CBF which attenuates ICP that sometimes see with intubation
most cardiotoxic?
Bupivicaine is most cardiotoxic because It is highly lipid soluble and only slowly dissociates from sodium channels so more blockade. This exaggerates the depressive effects and is also persistent
Cardiovascular S/A's?
depress myocardial automaticity (phase 4 depolarization) and reduce duration of refractory period. Depress contractility and conduction velocity at higher concentrations. Relax smooth muscle so vasodilatation except cocaine which is a vasoconstrictor.
Bradychardia/heart block/vasodilatation can lead to cardiac arrest. But usually this is at levels higher than used and would actually see seizures first. Signs of toxicity may be CNS excitement (tachycardia and hypertension)
Bupivicaine>Etidocaine> Ropivicainepi (ropi also less motor blockade good for obstetric patients)
resp S/A's?
Lidocaine depresses hypoxic drive (apnea), can cause bronchospasm is used in spray, may be effective in blocking the bronchoconstriction after intubation
Relax bronchial smooth muscle
immunological s/a's
Allergies from PABA from ester hydrolysis and allergies from methylparaben sometimes used to formulate amides
musculoskeletal s/a's
Myotoxic if injected into muscle (bupi>lido>pro)
