Effects of general and local anesthesia on the pharmacokinetics of cefazolin in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. 1985

W D Welch, and J P Jantzen, and K Johnson, and R E Bawdon

The pharmacokinetics of cefazolin in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery with either general (enflurane) or local (lidocaine or marcaine) anesthesia were studied. No differences in either mean serum levels at 30, 60, or 120 min after the intravenous injection of cefazolin or serum half-lives were seen between the two groups of patients.

D008012 Lidocaine A local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmia agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE.
