Pretend you are a teacher preparing a quiz for the text I will provide. 
            Each quiz question should follow the format below. 
            Ensure that you carefully recheck the questions and answers for accuracy.

            ion that produces effective pain control should be 
used. 
• 
LA is available with two dilutions of epinephrine (1:100,000 and 1:200,000). 
In Table 3.5 represents the maximum recommended dose for VC. 
 
 
• 
In cardio-vascularly compromised patients, the doctor should limit or avoid 
exposure to vasoconstrictors if possible.  
• 
These patients are mentioned in the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 
by classification system ASA class 3 and 4. 
• 
However, the risk of epinephrine administration must be weighed against the 
benefits to be gained from its inclusion in the local anaesthetic solution. 
• 
The questions are:  
a) Can clinically adequate pain control be provided for this patient without a 
vasoconstrictor in the solution?  
b) What is the potential negative effect of poor anesthesia on endogenous 
release of catecholamines in response to sudden, unexpected pain? 
 
Hemostasis: 
Epinephrine-containing local anesthetic solutions are used, via infiltration into the 
surgical site, to prevent or to minimize haemorrhage during surgical procedures, 
providing 
better 
visualisation 
of 
the 
surgical 
field 
and 
less 
bleeding 
 
• 
Effective hemostasis can be obtained with an epinephrine concentration of 
1:100,000. 
• 
Injection of epinephrine directly into surgical sites rapidly:  
1. Produces high tissue concentrations. 
2. Predominant α-receptor stimulation and hemostasis. 
• 
As the tissue levels of epinephrine decrease over time:  
Its primary action on blood vessels reverts to vasodilation because β2 actions 
predominate (Rebound Vasodilation). 
Therefore, it is common for some bleeding to be noted at about 6 hours after a surgical 
procedure.  
• 
Increased postsurgical pain and delayed wound healing in patients receiving 
epinephrine.  
 
 
2- Norepinephrine: 
Vascular 
action 
• constriction of cutaneous blood vessels (through α 
stimulation). 
• Leading to:  
1. Increased total peripheral resistance. 
2. Increased systolic and diastolic blood pressures. 
• 
The 
degree 
and 
duration 
of 
ischemia 
noted 
after 
norepinephrine infiltration into the hard palate have led to soft 
tissue necrosis (Fig. 3.1) 
 
Termination of 
Action 
and 
Elimination 
• 
Terminated through its reuptake at adrenergic nerve terminals 
and its oxidation by MAO. 
• 
Exogenous norepinephrine is inactivated by COMT. 
 
3- Levonordefrin: 
Mode of Action:  
• 
Acts through direct α-receptor stimulation (75%), with some β activity (25%) but 
to a lesser degree than epinephrine. 
• 
15% as potent a vasopressor as epinephrine. 
Clinical 
Applications 
Vasoconstrictor in local anaesthetics. 
Maximum 
Doses 
• Levonordefrin is considered one-sixth (15%) as effective 
as epinephrine; therefore, it is used in a higher 
concentration (1:20,000). 
• For all patients, the maximum dose should be 1 mg per 
appointment, which is 20 mL of a 1:20,000 dilution (11 
cartridges). 
• The maximum volume for administration may be limited 
by the dose of the local ana
