  Local Anesthetics Part 4: LAST — When Local Anesthetics Become Toxic

  Aug 28, 202623 minS0

  <p>Episode Title</p><p>Local Anesthetics Part 4: LAST — When Local Anesthetics Become Toxic</p><p>Episode Description</p><p>In Part 4 of the Vital Flow Local Anesthetics series, we tackle one of the most important and potentially life-threatening complications of local anesthetic use: Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity, or LAST.</p><p>This episode walks through how LAST happens, which local anesthetics carry the greatest risk, and how toxicity progresses through the central nervous and cardiovascular systems. We’ll cover early warning signs, seizures, cardiovascular collapse, and why severe toxicity—particularly from bupivacaine—can be so difficult to treat.</p><p>Most i...

  Local Anesthetics Part 3: Amides, Esters & the Drugs You Need to Know

  Aug 28, 202623 minS0

  <p>In Part 3 of the Vital Flow Local Anesthetics series, we move from the pharmacology to the drugs themselves.</p><p>This episode breaks down the two major classes of local anesthetics—amides and esters—and walks through the individual agents anesthesia providers need to know. We’ll compare their metabolism, duration of action, clinical uses, dosing considerations, and the characteristics that make each drug unique.</p><p>We cover commonly used agents including lidocaine, bupivacaine, ropivacaine, mepivacaine, chloroprocaine, tetracaine, and cocaine, with a focus on how their pharmacology translates into real-world anesthetic practice.</p><p>You’ll learn how to quick...

  Local Anesthetics Part 2: Differential Blockade, pKa, Potency & Duration

  Aug 27, 202617 minS0

  <p>Why do some local anesthetics kick in faster, last longer, or produce a denser block than others? In Part 2 of our Local Anesthetics series, we break down the pharmacology that explains how local anesthetics actually behave in clinical practice.</p><p>We’ll cover differential blockade and why sympathetic, sensory, and motor function aren’t always lost—or recovered—at the same time. Then we’ll connect pKa to onset, explaining how the balance between ionized and nonionized drug determines how quickly a local anesthetic can cross the nerve membrane.</p><p>We’ll also tackle what determines potency and duration...

  Local Anesthetics Part 1: Nerve Physiology & How Local Anesthetics Work

  Aug 26, 202615 minS0

  <p>In Part 1 of the Vital Flow Local Anesthetics series, we’re going back to the physiology that makes local anesthesia possible. We’ll break down how nerves generate and propagate action potentials, the role of sodium channels in depolarization, and exactly how local anesthetics interrupt nerve conduction.</p><p>We’ll also explore why some nerve fibers are blocked before others, how local anesthetics cross the nerve membrane, the importance of pKa and tissue pH, and why local anesthetics may be less effective in infected or acidic tissue.</p><p>By understanding what’s happening at the cellular level, the phar...

  Under Pressure: The Physiology of Laparoscopic Surgery

  Aug 26, 202621 minS0

  <p>Pneumoperitoneum changes more than the surgical view—it changes the physiology you’re managing. In this episode of Vital Flow, we break down the anesthesia considerations of laparoscopic surgery, from the cardiovascular and respiratory effects of increased intra-abdominal pressure to CO₂ absorption, positioning, ventilation, hemodynamic changes, and potential complications.</p><p>We’ll connect the physiology to what you actually see in the OR and discuss how anesthetic management can help anticipate and correct these changes. Whether you’re preparing for boards or managing your next laparoscopic case, this episode gives you a practical framework for understanding what happens when the a...
