This comprehensive discussion draws directly from both textbooks across 14 major topic areas. Here's a quick orientation to what was covered:
Summary of What's Covered
- Chemistry & Classification — ester vs. amide structure, metabolic pathways, allergy risk
- Structure-Activity Relationships — lipophilicity, pKa, protein binding, stereoisomerism (levobupivacaine, ropivacaine)
- Nerve Anatomy — barriers to diffusion (perineurium as the main barrier), nerve fibre classification table, myelinated vs unmyelinated conduction
- Mechanism of Action — Na⁺ channel state theory (resting/open/inactivated), use-dependent blockade, decremental conduction, Miller's 6-step chronology
- Differential Nerve Block — sequence of blockade, role of Nav1.7/Nav1.8 isoforms and TRPV1/TRPA1 channels (Barash)
- Pharmacokinetics — absorption by site, elimination half-lives table, hepatic vs plasma hydrolysis
- Adjuvants — epinephrine (mechanism, doses, effects per agent), alkalinisation, dexamethasone, dexmedetomidine, clonidine
- Individual Agents — short/intermediate/long-acting, TNS risk, cardiac safety hierarchy
- Dosage Principles — concentration vs volume, ultrasound-era MLAV, ED95 rationale
- LAST — mechanism, incidence, risk factors, prevention, full ASRA treatment protocol with lipid emulsion
- Neuraxial Anaesthesia — spinal factors, epidural principles, hypotension management (phenylephrine vs norepinephrine), PDPH, total spinal
- Peripheral Nerve Blocks — localisation techniques, concentration selection, intraneural injection, absorption rates by site, Bier block
- Neural Toxicity — direct neurotoxicity, cauda equina syndrome
- Regional vs General — evidence-based benefits
