126
The non-ionized fraction predominates if:
-the molecule is a weak base and the pH of the solution is >the pKa of the drug (base is added to a basic solution) -a molecule is a weak acid and the pH of the solution is < the pKa of the drug (an acid is added to an acidic solution)
127

128
Which circumstance creates the STRONGEST gradient for the passage of local anesthetic from the mother to the fetus?
Maternal alkalosis and fetal acidosis Maternal alkalosis: increases the non-ionized fraction in the maternal circulation; more local anesthetic is available to diffuse across the placenta Fetal acidosis: increases the ionized fraction inside the fetus.
