Tetracaine/An Ester Nerve-blocking Local Anesthetic


Tetracaine/An Ester Nerve-blocking Local Anesthetic

 

Overview of Tetracaine

Tetracaine is an ester nerve block local anesthetic, which is highly toxic and can penetrate the mucous membrane. Its local anesthetic effect is stronger than that of procaine, more than ten times that of procaine, and it can take effect within 1-3 minutes. The effect can be maintained for 2-3 hours, with strong penetrating power. It is mainly used for mucosal anesthesia, such as topical anesthesia of eyes, nose, throat and urinary tract. Absorption can cause convulsions, and then turn into respiratory depression, so infiltration and conduction anesthesia are generally not performed.

 

Indications of Tetracaine

For epidural block, subarachnoid block, nerve conduction block, mucosal surface anesthesia.

 

Dosage

Epidural anesthesia: The usual concentration is 0.15-0.3% solution, combined with lidocaine hydrochloride, the highest concentration is 0.3%, the usual dose is 40-50 mg, and the extreme dose is 80 mg.

Subarachnoid space block: commonly used its mixed solution (1% tetracaine hydrochloride 1ml mixed with 10% glucose injection 1ml, 3% ephedrine hydrochloride 1ml), the usual dose is 10mg, 15mg is the limit, 20mg is the extreme quantity.

Nerve conduction block: the usual concentration is 0.1% to 0.2%, the usual dose is 40 to 50 mg, and the extreme dose is 100 mg.

Mucosa topical anesthesia: commonly used concentration is 1%, 1% isotonic solution for ophthalmology, 1-2% solution for otolaryngology, and the limit is 40 mg at a time.

 

Adverse Reactions

Toxic reaction: The efficacy of this product is 10 times that of procaine, and its toxicity is also 10 times higher than that of procaine. The incidence of toxic reactions is also higher than that of procaine. Often due to large doses, rapid absorption or improper operation, such as mistakenly injecting into blood vessels so that the blood concentration is too high.

Symptoms of overdose poisoning are: dizziness, dizziness, followed by chills, tremors, panic, and finally convulsions and coma, and respiratory failure and blood pressure drop, requiring timely rescue.

Allergic reaction: It can cause sudden death in allergic patients, and attention should be paid even during topical anesthesia. Rashes or urticaria, edema of the face, mouth or (and) glossopharyngeal area may occur.
