Local Anesthetic Toxicity Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: The next best step in the management of vasospasm and gangrene following accidental intra-arterial thiopental administration is to leave the needle in place and administer _____ via the same needle.

Answer: Lidocaine (or Procaine) and Heparin

Extra: Management of accidental intra-arterial thiopental injection: 1. Leave the needle in place (in situ). 2. Dilute the drug with **Normal Saline**. 3. Relieve vasospasm with **Lidocaine**, **Procaine**, or **Papaverine**. 4. Prevent thrombosis with **Heparin**. 5. Sympathetic block (e.g., Stellate ganglion block) to maintain vasodilation. Note: Thiopental is highly alkaline (pH 10.5). Intra-arterial injection causes immediate vasospasm and endarteritis, which can lead to gangrene.

Flashcard 2: A sudden fall in EtCO2 with hypotension along with normal airway pressure during surgery is suggestive of _____.

Answer: CO2 embolism

Flashcard 3: The most common anaphylactic agent during anesthesia is _____

Answer: antibiotics

Flashcard 4: What is a major life-threatening anesthesia-related complication in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy?

Answer: Anesthesia-induced rhabdomyolysis (AIR) and Hyperkalemia

Extra: Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are at risk of Anesthesia-Induced Rhabdomyolysis (AIR) when exposed to triggering agents (volatile anesthetics or succinylcholine). This leads to acute, life-threatening hyperkalemia and potential cardiac arrest. Note: While the clinical presentation is similar, DMD is no longer considered a risk factor for classic Malignant Hyperthermia (MH). The two conditions have different genetic and pathophysiological bases.

Flashcard 5: _____ is the mainstay rx for cardiac arrest due to bupivacaine

Answer: Intravenous Lipid Emulsion (ILE) / Intralipid

Extra: Lipid Emulsion Therapy (20% Intralipid) is the mainstay for cardiac arrest due to Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST), specifically bupivacaine. Note: Standard ACLS is modified in LAST. Avoid vasopressin and use only low-dose epinephrine (<1 mcg/kg), as high doses can impair resuscitation and reduce the efficacy of lipid emulsion.

Flashcard 6: A drastic fall in etCO2 with hypotension during neck surgery is most likely due to _____.

Answer: venous air embolism (VAE)

Flashcard 7: The following capnography waveform represents: _____

Answer: malignant hyperthermia

Flashcard 8: The following capnographic waveform is suggestive of _____:

Answer: Malignant hyperthermia

Flashcard 9: Tuberculin syringe 1ml or insulin syringe _____units, without fixed needle x3 are one of the components of the anaphylaxis kit

Answer: 40

Flashcard 10: Malignant hyperthermia is usually related to a defect in _____ receptors, which causes increased Ca2+ release from the SR

Answer: ryanodine
