of the _____ effects of local anesthetics use what when
performing peripheral nerve blocks? discuss what in the

METHOMOGLOBINEMIA:
What is it?

What can this issue lead to in the pt? why?
When do symptoms typically occur? to as late as?
What pts are higher risk for this condition?(5) - ANSWER--
rare/unusual complication where iron in hemoglobin is oxidized
to the ferric state.
-lidocaine & other local anesthetics or hereditary factors
-tissue hypoxia or death, because iron in its ferric state can't
bind to oxygen
-20 to 60 mins after exposure to local, 2 hours post exposure
, -pts w/ comorbidities that impair oxygen transport such as
anemia heart/lung disease, liver disease, & neonates
METHOMOGLOBINEMIA RESPONSE:
Administer ____ ____ oxygen & titrate as needed. Get lab
tests such as (2) administer what medication? use multiple
wavelength ___________ to determine? - ANSWER--high
flow
-CBC and arterial blood gases
-methlyne blue
-CO-oximetry, how much oxygen is bound to the pt's
hemoglobin
WALANT TECHNIQUE:
what does WALANT stand for? What is the point of using this
technique/what medications are used(2)?
What is a potential complication of this technique?
What can be administered to reverse the effects? - ANSWER--
wide awake local anesthesia with no tourniquet, combines local
anesthetic & epinephrine to induce anesthesia and hemostasis
in the area of the surgical procedure to eliminate the use of a
tourniquet/prolong the effects of local anesthetic
-the epinephrine can cause vasoconstrictor induced ischemia
-subq injection of Phentolamine 1mg/mL
