Select Drug Category

Lidocaine (Xylocaine):   - Maximum Dose without Epinephrine: 4.5 mg/kg (without epinephrine)   - Maximum Dose with Epinephrine: 7 mg/kg (with epinephrine)   - Toxicity: Symptoms of lidocaine toxicity may include dizziness, confusion, seizures, cardiovascular collapse, and cardiac arrest.

Bupivacaine (Marcaine):   - Maximum Dose without Epinephrine: 2 mg/kg (without epinephrine)   - Maximum Dose with Epinephrine: 3 mg/kg (with epinephrine)   - Toxicity: Bupivacaine toxicity can cause significant cardiotoxicity, leading to cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, and central nervous system (CNS) effects such as seizures and dizziness.

Mepivacaine (Carbocaine):   - Maximum Dose without Epinephrine: 4.5 mg/kg (without epinephrine)   - Maximum Dose with Epinephrine: 7 mg/kg (with epinephrine)   - Toxicity: Symptoms of mepivacaine toxicity are similar to other local anesthetics and may involve CNS and cardiovascular effects.

Procaine (Novocaine):   - Maximum Dose without Epinephrine: 7 mg/kg (without epinephrine)   - Maximum Dose with Epinephrine: Not typically used with epinephrine   - Toxicity: Procaine toxicity may present with symptoms similar to other local anesthetics but is less frequently used today due to its shorter duration and higher allergenic potential.

Articaine (Septocaine):   - Maximum Dose without Epinephrine: 7 mg/kg (without epinephrine)   - Maximum Dose with Epinephrine: 7 mg/kg (with epinephrine)   - Toxicity: Articaine has a longer duration of action but can cause similar toxicity symptoms as other local anesthetics if administered excessively or if there's accidental intravascular injection.

Select an Electrolyte

Hypokalemia (Low Potassium Levels):  

- Mild to Moderate Hypokalemia (3.0-3.5 mEq/L):    

- Oral potassium supplementation: Potassium chloride tablets or liquid, 20-40 mEq orally per day in divided doses.  

- Severe Hypokalemia (<3.0 mEq/L):    

- IV potassium chloride: Start with 10-20 mEq/hour, under continuous cardiac monitoring.

Hyperkalemia (High Potassium Levels):  

- Mild Hyperkalemia (5.1-6.0 mEq/L):    

- Dietary potassium restriction and discontinuation of potassium supplements.  

- Severe Hyperkalemia (>6.0 mEq/L or with ECG changes):    

- Calcium gluconate or calcium chloride IV to stabilize cardiac membranes.    

- Insulin with glucose IV, beta-agonists (e.g., albuterol), or sodium bicarbonate to shift potassium into cells.     - Loop diuretics or exchange resins (e.g., sodium polystyrene sulfonate) to enhance potassium removal.

Hypocalcemia (Low Calcium Levels):  

- Mild Hypocalcemia (8.0-8.5 mg/dL):    

- Oral calcium supplements: Calcium carbonate or calcium citrate, doses vary based on elemental calcium content.  

- Severe Hypocalcemia (<8.0 mg/dL or symptomatic):    

- IV calcium gluconate or calcium chloride, dosages depend on severity and symptoms.

Hypercalcemia (High Calcium Levels):  

- Mild Hypercalcemia (10.5-11.9 mg/dL):    

- Hydration with IV saline and loop diuretics.  

- Severe Hypercalcemia (>12 mg/dL or symptomatic):    

- Bisphosphonates, calcitonin, or corticosteroids may be used for severe cases.

Hypomagnesemia (Low Magnesium Levels):  

- Mild to Moderate Hypomagnesemia (1.2-1.8 mg/dL):    

- Oral magnesium supplements: Magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate, or magnesium glycinate, dosages vary.  

- Severe Hypomagnesemia (<1.2 mg/dL or symptomatic):    

- IV magnesium sulfate, doses vary based on severity and response.

Hypermagnesemia (High Magnesium Levels):  

- Mild to Moderate Hypermagnesemia (2.5-3.0 mg/dL):    

- Discontinuation of magnesium-containing medications.  

- Severe Hypermagnesemia (>3.0 mg/dL or with symptoms):    

- IV calcium gluconate for severe symptoms.    

- Dialysis may be necessary in extreme cases.
