Local Anesthetic
PHARMACOLOGY: Mepivacaine stabilizes the neuronal membrane and
prevents the initiation and
transmission of nerve impulses, thereby effecting local anesthesia.
Its pharmacological properties
are somewhat similar to those of lidocaine, which it resembles
chemically. Its action is more rapid
in onset and somewhat more prolonged than that of lidocaine. It has
been employed for all types of
infiltration and regional nerve block anesthesia.
Onset of anesthesia is rapid, the time of onset for sensory block
ranging from about 3 to 20
minutes depending upon such factors as the anesthetic technique, the
type of block, the
concentration of the solution and the individual patient. The degree
of motor blockade produced is
dependent on the concentration of the solution. The 1% concentration
will block sensory and
sympathetic conduction without loss of motor function and will be
effective in small superficial
nerve blocks. The 2% concentration of mepivacaine will produce
complete sensory and motor
block of any nerve group.
The duration of anesthesia also varies depending upon the technique
and type of block, the
concentration and the individual. Mepivacaine will normally provide
anesthesia which is
adequate for 2 to 2½ hours of surgery. It has been reported that
vasoconstrictors do not
significantly prolong anesthesia with mepivacaine, but epinephrine
(1:200 000) may be added to
the mepivacaine solution to promote local hemostasis and to delay
systemic absorption of the
anesthetic.
