Local Anesthetic and Epinephrine Dilution

In this video from Count Backwards from 10, we take a look at what the percent sign means when discussing local anesthetics and what that ‘1:200,000 of epinephrine’ actually means in terms of dosing, along with some helpful tips and tricks on how to shortcut all the math. Hooray for dimensional analysis!

Awesomeeeeee

[@remonhelmy7241]

I don’t get it

[@5.dot.connector]

5g = 5000 mg not 500 mg
5% Bupivacain contains 50 (not 5) mg/ml
easy rule: the percentage x 10 is the mg/ml
that is because 1 ml weighs 1g ie. 1.000 mg

[@sanbessie]

It is 0.5g pay attention which equals 500mg

[@bodyby2894]

5g==>5000mg not 500mg !!

[@hostelmaniac01]

It’s 0.5g, not 5g
