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.
