The time course of arterial plasma lidocaine concentration, following an epidural anaesthesia via the sacrococcygeal or the S4-S5 trans-sacral approach, was studied in nine healthy piglets (7.8 +/- 1.3 weeks). Plasma lidocaine concentrations were measured for up to six hours after administration (5 mg/kg). Peak plasma concentration was 1.83 +/- 0.17 mg/l. Pharmacokinetic parameters determined from an independent compartment model were not different from those observed after an epidural administration of lidocaine via the sacrococcygeal space in children, except for a wide variability in the time taken to reach the maximum concentration (27.3 +/- 7.4 min) and a shorter half-life of elimination (82.8 +/- 7.0 min). The total body clearance of lidocaine was similar in piglets (17.3 +/- 1.6 ml/min/kg) to that in children. The shorter half-life of elimination was therefore attributed to a smaller volume of distribution in piglets (2.0 +/- 0.2 l/kg).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D004350 Drug Residues Drugs and their metabolites which are found in the edible tissues and milk of animals after their medication with specific drugs. This term can also apply to drugs found in adipose tissue of humans after drug treatment. Drug Residue,Residue, Drug,Residues, Drug
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.

D000779 Anesthetics, Local Drugs that block nerve conduction when applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentrations. They act on any part of the nervous system and on every type of nerve fiber. In contact with a nerve trunk, these anesthetics can cause both sensory and motor paralysis in the innervated area. Their action is completely reversible. (From Gilman AG, et. al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed) Nearly all local anesthetics act by reducing the tendency of voltage-dependent sodium channels to activate.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
