Question

Al chose correct sanswer. An adult patient is receiving Lidocaine as local anesthetic. The provider also administers epinephrine. What is the rationale for this combination of drugs? Administering Epinephrine along with Lidocaine prevents methemoglobinemia, a blood disorder. Epinephrine, along with Lidocaine prevents an allergic reaction because Lidocaine is an ester-type anesthetic. Epinephrine is never administered with Lidocaine because an adverse reaction may occur. Epinephrine prolongs anesthesia and reduces the risk of toxicity by constricting local blood flow.
