What are the problems associated with the
vasodilatory properties of local anesthetics? -
answer - An increased rate of absorption of LA's in
the CVS
- A decrease in duration of the anesthetic's action
- higher blood levels of LA's (increase risk in
toxicity)
- increase in bleeding
What are the benefits of adding vasoconstrictors to
LA solutions? - answer They counteract the
vasodilating properties of LA's:
- decreased blood flow
- slow absorption of LA's
- lower blood levels
- more LA enters the nerve
,- decreased bleeding at sight
What are the two vasoconstrictors added to local
anesthetics? - answer 1. epinephrine
2. levonordefrin
What is the use of vasoconstrictors in dentistry? -
answer Epinephrine is absorbed from the site of
injection and it increases cardiac output and stroke
volume
Epinephrine mechanism of action? - answer
Activates adrenergic receptors
Sodium bisulfite preservative? - answer Advantage:
Increases shelf life
Disadvantages: Further acidify the pH of the
anesthetic solution, allergic reactions to sodium
bisulfites
, Epinephrine actions on specific systems and
tissues - answer - Increases cardiac output and
heart rate
- Increases irritability of pacemaker cells:
increased incidence of dysrhythmias & tachycardia
- Respiratory system: potent dilator
- Increases oxygen consumption in all tissues
Epinephrine termination of action - answer
Terminated by the reuptake of adrenergic nerves
Levonordefrin actions on specific systems and
tissues - answer Only 1/6 as strong as epi, so it is
used in a stronger concentration
Levonordefrin dilution - answer Used with
Mepivacaine HCL 2% at 1:20,000
Levonordefrin termination of action - answer
Reuptake of adrenergic nerves
