Aromatic Ring Responsible for lipophilicity of
compounds Lipophilicity – tendency of the
compound to associate with membrane lipids
Amine Portion Secondary and tertiary amine is
associated with water solubility Compounds lacking the amine
portion are insoluble in water (e.g. Benzocaine)

Dosage Increasing dosage (in volume or concentration)
Decrease onset time Increase duration of action Enhance quality of block Increase potential for toxicity

VasoconstrictorsBenefits of Epinephrine
Prolongation of local anesthetic block Increased intensity of block Decreased systemic absorption
Contraindication: local anesthesia around end arteries (finger, ear, penis)
Other Vasoconstrictors: Phenylephrine, Norepinephrine

Site of InjectionOnset time
Brachial Plexus Blocks (Peripheral Nerve Block) Longest latencies and duration: Anesthetic deposited at some distance from the nerve Anesthetic must diffuse through tissue barriers Slow onset time
Subarachnoid Space: cord lacks nerve sheath local anesthetic deposited in the immediate vicinity of
the cord Fast onset time

Accelerates the onset Increase in the pH increases the amount of
uncharged drug, enhancing the rate of diffusion across the nerve sheath
Injection less painful

Mixtures of Local AnestheticsUsed to compensate for the short duration
of action of rapid acting agents, and the long latency of longer acting agents
Caution in using maximum doses of 2 local anesthetics: toxicities should be presumed to be additive.

Direct Cardiac Effects Decrease in the rate of depolarization
in the fast conducting tissues of Purkinje fibers and ventricular muscle
Decrease in action potential duration and effective refractory period
Due to a decrease in the availability of fast sodium channels in cardiac membranes
Prevention: Aspiration to detect inadvertent
vascular entry Use of anesthetics with less
cardiotoxicity Levobupivacaine Ropivacaine
Miller, RD. Miller’s Anesthesia, 6th ed. 2006Stoelting, RK. Pharmacology and Physiology of Anesthetic Practice, 4th ed. 2006.
Cardiac Resuscitation:1.Secure the airway2.Provide oxygenation and ventilation3.Institute cardiac compressions4.Medications
Epinephrine, first lineAmrinone, may be beneficialBretylium

Direct Peripheral Vascular EffectsBiphasic effect on peripheral vascular
smooth muscle Low doses of lidocaine and bupivaine:
vasoconstriction Higher doses: vasodilatation (increased
arteriolar diameter) COCAINE: consistently causes vasoconstriction
at all concentrations by inhibiting the uptake of norepinephrine by premotor neurons (vasogenic vasoconstriction)

The temporary interruption of nerve transmission produced by injection of a small amount of local anesthetic solution (with or without opiates) into the subarachnoid space
Provides sensory and motor blockade below the level of the block
Indications: Operations on the abdomen, urologic, rectum, perineum and lower extremity procedures that are amenable to spinal anesthesia

Local anesthetic agent - Variable pharmacologic properties
Volume and dose Increasing the dose: increase the extent of
cephalad spread and duration of block Patient position and local anesthetic
baricity Influences the spread and level of the block
Addition of vasoconstrictors Addition of opioids
Prolong duration of analgesia and increase tolerance for tourniquet pain
Anatomic and Physiologic Factors Examples: obesity, pregnancy, increased
intraabdominal pressure, previous spine surgery, spine deformities, age
Baricity: •specific gravity of the local anesthetic solutions relative to cerebrospinal fluid
•Hypobaric•Isobaric•Hyperbaric

Avoids manipulation of the airway: patients with reactive airways
Difficult intubation: no manipulation of the airway
Avoids complications of difficult tracheal intubation Avoids side effects of general anesthesia
Nausea, vomiting, prolonged emergence or drowsiness Urologic Surgery: Early recognition of signs of complications
of TURP (headache, restlessness, confusion, etc.) Orthopedic Surgery: Less blood loss
“Full stomach”: lightly sedated, less likely to aspirate
NSD, Caesarean section: mothers are awake for early bonding
Intrathecal opiate administration provides high quality post-operative analgesia
Technique is simple

Intravenous administration of a local anesthetic into a tourniquet-occluded limb. Local anesthetic diffuses from the
peripheral vascular bed to nonvascular tissue such as axons and nerve endings

Requirements: no disruption of the venous system of the involved upper extremity because the technique relies on an intact venous system
Safety and efficacy depend on the interruption of blood flow into the involved limb and gradual release of the occluding tourniquet
Functions of tourniquet Isolate the limb from systemic
circulation (prevention of blood loss) Isolate the systemic circulation from
the limb (in IVRA)
![Page 49: Anesthesiology Lectures Surgery Module III. Review of 2 nd Year Competencies: Pharmacologic Principles of Local Anesthesia Regional Anesthetic Techniques.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649ea35503460f94ba788b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
1. A tourniquet is placed on the proximal arm of the extremity to be blocked. Patency of the cuff is confirmed.
2. A small IV intravenous catheter is introduced in the dorsum of the patient's hand of the arm to be anesthetized
3. The arm is then elevated and at least for 1 minute to allow passive exsanguination,
4. Cuff is inflated (100mmHg above systolic BP)
5. The extremity is then lowered and the local anesthetic is slowly injected through the previously inserted IV catheter

Blockade of brachial plexus, lumbar plexus, and specific peripheral nerves via injection of local anesthetic solutions into tissues surrounding individual peripheral nerves or nerve plexuses
Local anesthetics deposited near the vicinity of the nerve diffuses from the outer surface (mantle) to the center (core) of the nerve along a concentration gradient
Proximal structure: mantle Distal structures: core

Advantages: reduced physical stress (compared to central neuraxis
anesthesia) Avoids airway manipulation and complications
associated with endotracheal intubation Indwelling catheters may be placed for prolonged block
and analgesia Provides surgical anesthesia and postoperative
analgesia Requirements:
