Anaesthesia means loss of sensation.
Drugs that cause anaesthesia are called anaesthetic.
They are used to relief from pain during tests & surgical operation.They relief a patient from
1)pain 2)touch 3)temperature 4)pressure
2 KIND ~ 1) General anaesthesia 2)Local anaesthesia
Definition:
The agents that induces~ * loss of pain * adequate muscle relaxation * loss of reflexes * without loss of conciousness & memory in a localized area.
Classification: Based on inter bridge chain ~
1} Ester linkage 2}Amide linkage

1}Ester Linkage
Oxybuprocaine is a most common medicine that is used in topical anaesthesia of eye.
Onset: about 30 sec USE: used in the outermost layers of the cornea
& conjunctiva for the following reason ~ *to remove small foreign objects *to perform a contact/applanation tonometry
ADVERSE EFFECTS:*irritation *hypersensitivity *Irreversible corneal damage
2}Amide Linkage

MECHANISM: It reversibly blocks impulse conduction
along nerve axons, rate of firing & formation of action potential by blocking Na+ channel in neuronal membranes.
Short acting drug Topical 4%~ onset 10 min Injectable 2%~ duration 30 min
MECHANISM : Same as lignocaine long acting & potent * onset ~[15-20]min * duration~ [5-8] hours
WHY LIGNO AND BUPI ARE USED COMBINDLY DURING INTRAOCULAR SURGERY?{e.g.CATARACT}
ANS-----TO GET EARLY ONSET WITH LONG DURATION OF ACTION
*INTERMEDIATE ACTION

Why adrenaline is used Why adrenaline is used With lignocain? With lignocain?
An anaesthetic agent paralyses sensory nerve An anaesthetic agent paralyses sensory nerve endings or nerve fibers at the site of application. The endings or nerve fibers at the site of application. The conduction of nerve impulses is blocked by stopping conduction of nerve impulses is blocked by stopping the entry of Na+ into nerve cells.the entry of Na+ into nerve cells.
