    1. Injection
    2. Sprays
    3. Creams
    4. Gels
    5. Formulated as hydrochlroide salt
  2. Usually administered around nerves requiring block
  3. Absorption depends on pKa
    1. Infected tissue has a lower pH than normal, therefore local anaesthetic absorption is impaired
  4. Local infiltration
  5. Splash blocks
  6. Specific nerve blocks
  7. IVRA
  8. Extradural
  9. Topical
  10. EMLA (Eutectic mixture of Local Anaesthetic)
    1. Mixture of Anaesthetics w/ a single chemical composition
      1. Ex. Lidocaine & Prilocaine
  11. Cause Vasodilation, thus Vasoconstrictors added to reduce systemic absorption
    1. Ex. + Adrenalin
    2. Cocaine causes Vasoconstriction
2. Distribution
  1. Higher PPB, longer duration
    1. Ex. Lidocaine: PPB = 65%
    2. Ex. Bupivicaine: PPB = 95%
    3. Bupivicaine > Ropivicaine>Lidocaine > Prilocaine
    4. Albumin & alpha 1-Acid Glycoprotein
    5. Free drug crosses the placenta & can become trapped if the Foetus is acidotic
3. Metabolism and Excretion
