We studied the effects of epinephrine and phenylephrine on the cardiorespiratory toxicity of intravenously injected bupivacaine in Sprague-Dawley rats. Our data show that both epinephrine and phenylephrine significantly increased cardiorespiratory toxicity of intravenously injected bupivacaine (P less than 0.007, X2 analyses with Yates' correction). Our data suggest that epinephrine or phenylephrine added to bupivacaine may be more toxic to cardiorespiratory systems than plain bupivacaine or epinephrine alone or phenylephrine alone when injected intravenously in rats.

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
