mepivacaine and Consciousness, Loss of

mepivacaine has been researched along with Consciousness, Loss of in 5 studies

Mepivacaine: A local anesthetic that is chemically related to BUPIVACAINE but pharmacologically related to LIDOCAINE. It is indicated for infiltration, nerve block, and epidural anesthesia. Mepivacaine is effective topically only in large doses and therefore should not be used by this route. (From AMA Drug Evaluations, 1994, p168)
mepivacaine : A piperidinecarboxamide in which N-methylpipecolic acid and 2,6-dimethylaniline have combined to form the amide bond. It is used as a local amide-type anaesthetic.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"An increase in blood pressure, accompanied by atrial fibrillation, agitation, incomprehensible shouts and loss of consciousness, was observed in an elderly, ASA classification group II, cardiovascularly medicated male, 12 min after performance of axillary block with mepivacaine 850 mg containing adrenaline 0."3.70An unusual toxic reaction to axillary block by mepivacaine with adrenaline. ( Koscielniak-Nielsen, ZJ, 1998)
"The case is reported of a female patient with attack-like neuropathic pain following lower arm injury with repeated respiratory depression and unconsciousness even after several administrations of sufficiently dosed analgetics for suppression of the attacks."1.35[Life-threatening respiratory depression after pain therapy].
