41
A 50 y/o, 60 kg female patient received a Lidocaine initial dose of 1 mg/kg with a subsequent infusion of 1.5 mg/kg/hour for 1.5 hours. How much total Lidocaine in mgs did she receive in the PACU?
60kg x 1 mg/kg = 60 mg 60 kg x 1.5 mg/kg = 90 mg (1 hour) (60 kg x 1.5mg/kg = 90 mg)/2 = 45 mg (30 minutes) 60+90+45 = 195 mg total!!!
42
Multidose lidocaine vials are used for _____.
infiltration or peripheral nerve block.
43

- Amide (amides anesthetics have 2 "i"s) - Cocaine. Cocaine is also local amide anesthetic.
44
How is lidocaine metabolized?
Liver
45

47
Lidocaine plasma concentration of ____ causes what? 10-15 mcg/ml = ? 15-25 mcg/ml = ?
These are OD levels 10-15 = Sz's; unconsciousness 15-25 = apnea (*pons & medullary depression*); coma
48
If we give Lido w/ Epi, should the dose be higher or lower? Why?
Higher: epinephrine will locally vasoconstrict and prevent lidocaine leakage into the intravascular space. (Castrater)
49
How is lidocaine overdose treated?
Lipid rescue
50
What is one of magnesium's primary MOAs (for this pharm class)?
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist - Probably potentiates opioids centrally and peripherally

- Ca++ access intracellularly. - Neurotransmission - Cell signaling - Enzyme function
52
Which patients receive magnesium sulfate most often per Castillo?
Preeclamptic & eclamptic OB patients.
53
This med has anti-nociceptive effects by antagonizing the NMDA receptor and "probably" potentiates opioids centrally and peripherally.
Magnesium
54
Which ion has limited movement across the BBB?
Mg⁺⁺
55

59
What drug class does Ondansetron fall into? What was it first developed for? What CYP450 is relevant to ondansetron?
It is the first 5-HT3 antagonist -It was approved for CINV -Responsiveness decreased by variations in the CYP2D6 activity!

67
Can we reverse Precedex (Dexmedetomidine)?
Yep, Atipamezole antagonizes Precedex so that's nice.
68
What are the primary uses for Precedex (Dexmedetomidine)?
- Concious Sedation: Calmness, easily rousable, spontaneous ventilation, amnesia is ** not** assured. Also good in Postop/ICU - General Anesthesia: Tracheal intubation and allows for decreased perioperative requirements of inhaled anesthetics & opioids. - TIVA: Depression of ventilation
69
For Precedex, state the following: - Half-time - Metabolism/Excretion - It is a weak ___ of CYP450 - Can cause ___tension in high doses and ___cardia with rapid infusion (also high doses)

- Spinal/Intrathecal/SAB: 3 μg (as combo), 5 μg with Fentanyl, or 25 μg (alone) - Epidural: 2 μg/kg ## Footnote We really don't see this in practice according to Dr. Castillo. Just give IV.
73
Precedex can decrease the need for inhaled anesthetics & opioids by up to ___%
