  LOCAL ANAESTHETICS Drugs that block peripheral nervous tissue when applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentration,without loss of consciousness CLASSIFICATION: A) INJECTABLE : SHORT ACTING : Procaine  Chloroprocaine  INTERMEDIATE ACTING  Lignocaine  Prilocaine LONG ACTING Bupivacaine  Ropivacaine tetracaine  B) SURFACE ANAESTHETIC: Lignocaine  Cocaine Tetracaine MECHANISM OF ACTION : Primary mechanism of action: blockade of voltage gated sodium channel  local anaesthesia diffuse through cell membrane to bind the voltage sensitive sodium channel to prevent generation of action potential and conduction  DIFFERENTIAL BLOCKADE: 1)Autonomic (1st blocked )followed by sensory fibres,pain temperature ,touch ,pressure,vibration  Non myelinated fibres are blocked readily than myelinated  FEATURES OF LOCAL ANAESTHETICS: 1) It should have quick onset of action  2)It should not be irritating to skin and mucous...
