  1. Local Anesthetic Toxicity Chuck Magich, MS, CRNA Staff Nurse Anesthetist R Adams Cowley, Shock Trauma Center Baltimore, MD October 2013

  2. Used in epidural catheters & peripheral nerve block catheters. • “caine” family: • Lidocaine • Bupivicaine

  3. Physiology Local anesthetics block Na+ channels to prevent impulse transmission. Meant for perineuronal injection, not IV! Can bind to other receptors, especially cardiac.

  4. More about Locals Bolus at insertion 20-40 cc’s Infusion rates 5-10cc’s /hr Epi used in local to detect intravascular injection (HTN, tachy) Epi also used to prolong duration of action by causing vasoconstriction to area infiltrated Always aspirate before injecting Small incremental injections

  5. Signs & symptoms of toxicity CNS • Dizziness • Circumoral numbness • Tinnitus • Metallic taste • Confusion • Seizure • Coma Cardiovacular • Hypotension • Bradycardia • Heart Block • Vent Arrythmias • V-tach • V-Fib • Asystole

  6. Traditional Management of Toxicity CPB Often prolonged resus w/poor outcomes BLS ACLS

  7. History of Lipid Rescue First discovered in 1998 by Weinberg First used to successfully treat patient in 2006 (Rosenblatt) Now being shown to be effective for other types of OD’s: TCA’s, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers

  9. Lipid Rescue Protocol

  10. Calculations 105 cc’s IV push 1050 cc/hr “Rule of 15:” Bolus = 1.5 0.25ml/kg/min = 15 X wt(kg) = cc/hr • Notify pharmacy ASAP! 70 Kg patient: Bolus dose? Infusion rate (cc/hr)?

  11. How it works • “Partitioning”: • Lipid Sink • Lipid Pool • Lipid Sponge

  12. Location • Currently in large omnicell just outside New TOR entrance • Once hospital wide, only in key omnicells, not every one. • Available at all satellite pharmacy windows: • GOR • 3rd floor old trauma building • Hospital-wide date TBA

  13. What & Where? • Contents: • 20% Intralipid (500ml) • Alaris pump tubing • Copy of protocol

  14. Case Study • 84 y/o, ASA 2, 70 kg • Femoral neckfx • Block w/ 30cc 0.25% Bupivicaine • Neg asp after every 5 cc • c/o feeling “funny” 1 min after block • Became unresponsive followed by seizure • Developed PEA arrest • Intubated & CPR started • 1mg epi given • 20% intralipid started within 5-8 mins after LOC • Rec’d 500 ml lipid total • Soon after lipid started developed SB 35 • Atropine 0.5mg x 2 • Ext pacing started • HR 70 w/stable BP • To ICU on no pressors • 24* later hemiarthroplasty performed • Extubated end of case • DC to floor 3 days later • Completely neurologically intact
