In comparing these two local anesthetic blocks,which one is associated with a higher anesthetic serum levels?
Sciatic and femoral blockade
Intercostal blockade
Reduce systemic absorption rate due to the addition of vasoconstrictors with local anesthetics is most typically noted with shorter-acting, less lipid-soluble and less potent agents.
True
False
Local anesthetics delivered into the subarachnoid space will exhibit a distribution pattern most importantly dependent on specific gravity compared to that of the cerebrospinal fluid as well as the patients position (anesthetic solutions may be hyperbaric, hyperbaric or isobaric)
True
False
This type of local anesthetic is more likely to be converted to water-soluble metabolites in plasma.
Amide-type
Ester-type
Amide-type local anesthetics undergo hepatic biotransformation involving hydroxylation and N-dealkylation catalyzed by the cytochrome P450 drug metabolizing system.
