    Study Notes

    Local Anesthetics

    • Bupivacaine: Trade name is MARCAINE or Sensorcaine; a long-acting local anesthetic.
    • Lidocaine: Known as XYLOCAINE; treats ventricular arrhythmias; can be used with epinephrine.
    • Cocaine: A local anesthetic used exclusively for topical applications, controlling bleeding and pain on mucous membranes.

    Anesthetic Adjuncts

    • Midazolam (Versed): A benzodiazepine used for inducing amnesia and pre-operative sedation; administered IV or IM.
    • Propofol (Diprivan): A fast-acting sedative/hypnotic used for procedural sedation and induction of anesthesia; administered IV.
    • Ketamine: An adjunct anesthetic leading to a trance-like state and hallucinations, known as "Special K"; administered IV.

    Neuromuscular Blockers

    • Succinylcholine (Anectine): A depolarizing neuromuscular blocker; produces rapid paralysis; associated with malignant hyperthermia, treated with Dantrolene.

    Opioid Analgesics

    • Fentanyl (Sublimaze): An opioid analgesic available in transdermal patches; used for pain relief and anesthesia adjunct; administered IV.
    • Meperidine (Demerol): An opioid analgesic for pain relief; administered IV or IM.
    • Morphine: A potent opioid analgesic used for pain relief; administered IV.

    Antiemetics

    • Ondansetron (Zofran): Antiemetic drug used to relieve nausea and vomiting, particularly in pre- and post-operative settings; given IV.

    Anticholinergics

    • Atropine Sulfate: An anticholinergic used before anesthesia to prevent aspiration and block secretions; administered IV.
    • Glycopyrrolate (Robinul): An anticholinergic that dries secretions to prevent aspiration; used for anesthesia premedication; administered IV, IM, or orally.

    Crisis Management Drugs

    • Dantrolene (Dantrium): A muscle relaxant used to treat malignant hyperthermia crises; administered IV.
    • Naloxone Hydrochloride (Narcan): An opioid antagonist used to reverse narcotic overdoses; administered IV, IM, or SUBQ.
    • Flumazenil (Mazicon): A benzodiazepine antagonist used to reverse the effects of midazolam; administered IV.

    Adrenergic Agents

    • Epinephrine (Adrenalin): An adrenergic bronchodilator and anesthetic adjunct; reduces bleeding and prolongs local anesthesia effects; administered IV, IM, or SUBQ.
