correction regarding LA DOSES

[Guest guest]

HI ALL

ACCORDING TO THE LAST EDITION OF ODELL

IT IS STATES THAT:

CURRENT RECOMMENDATION ARE EXPRESSED IN THE FORM OF THE MAXIMUM SAFE DOSE PER

BODY WEIGHT GIVEN OVER A PERIOD OF 1 H. THUS THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED DOSES ARE

SHOWN IN THE TABLE:

LIDOCAINE AND MEPIVICAIN: 4.4 mg/kg 2% use 6 and a half cartilage

3% use 4 and a half 2.2 ml cartilage

2.prilocain: 6mg/kg for 3% use 6 2.2 cartilage,

4% 4 and a half ml cartilage

3. articain: 7mg/kg 4%, ( 5 and a half fro a 2.2 ml cartilage)

THESE LIMITS APPLY TO ALL PREPARATIONS OF LOCAL ANESTHESIA IRRESEPECTIVE OF THE

PRESCENCE OF OR THE TYPE OF VASOCONSTRICTORN. IT IS NO LONGER CONSIDERED THAT

LARGER DOSES CAN BE GIVEN IN A TREATMENT SESSION IF THE PREPARATION CONTAINS

VASOCONTRICTION.

IN MY OPINION: THE METHOD OF CALCULATION IS THE SAME THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT

WE WILL FOLLOW THE DOSES IN THE SCHEDUAL.

I KNOW that this is diffrent from the one offered in scully but considereing

that both the editions are 2010 we will have to confirm with a recent guidlines.

thanks

good luck
