Fetal toxicity of local anesthetics

نویسنده

  • A. SCOTT WHEELER
چکیده

This article reviews mechanisms by which local anesthetics may compromise the fetus during conduction analgesia in obstetrics. In addition to presenting pertinent information about perinatal pharmacology of local anesthetics, the author discusses comparative effects of 2-chloroprocaine and amide-linked compounds. Recommendations are made for prevention of maternal hypotension and local anesthetic-induced seizures.

The effect of nifedipine and baclofen on spinal anesthesia induced by local anesthetics

The primary mode of action of local anesthetics is through sodium channel and axonal conduction blockade. Local anesthetics have also extensive effects on pre-synaptic calcium channels that must function to stimulate the release of neurotransmitters. Thus, interference with calcium channel conductance may enhance spinal anesthesia with local anesthetics. The present study was designed to invest...

Lipid Emulsion for Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity

The accidental overdose of local anesthetics may prove fatal. The commonly used amide local anesthetics have varying adverse effects on the myocardium, and beyond a certain dose all are capable of causing death. Local anesthetics are the most frequently used drugs amongst anesthetists and although uncommon, local anaesthetic systemic toxicity accounts for a high proportion of mortality, with lo...

Cardiovascular Toxicity of Local Anesthetics

In general, much greater doses of local anesthetics are required to produce cardiovascular (CV) toxicity than CNS toxicity. Similar to CNS toxicity, potency for CV toxicity reflects the anesthetic potency of the agent. Recent attention has focused on the apparently exceptional cardiotoxicity of the more potent, more lipid-soluble agents (bupivacaine, levo-bupivacaine, etidocaine, ropivacaine). ...

مقاومت حقیقی به داروهای بیحس کننده موضعی: (گزارش مورد)

Background: We report a case with apparent resistance to local anesthetics. While regional anesthetics failure are often attributed to technical failure, the clinical presentation and medical history of this patient suggests a true resistance to local anesthetics. Case report: A 28 years old man was scheduled for elective orthopedic surgery for right sided tibial bone fracture, and decision of...
