Metabolism of ester anesthetics is by plasma cholinesterase, whereas amides are metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system in the liver. [6] 6] Action of local anesthetics is dependent upon the molecule crossing the plasma membrane in a unionized form. [2] 2] This linking group can be either an amide (e.g., lidocaine) or an ester (e.g.,

DEG is rapidly absorbed when ingested and can reach peak plasma and brain tissue concentrations within four hours of ingestion. Elimination half-life data is not well established but increases in larger overdoses and as renal injury begins to occur. 1 Clinical Questions: When should a clinician suspect diethylene glycol (DEG) toxicity?

This is pathognomonic of hyperkalemia (I suppose it could be due to a massive overdose of a sodium channel blocking drug, maybe). Internal potassium balance and the control of the plasma potassium concentration. A prehospital ECG was recorded: Limb leads: Precordial Leads What is the therapy?
