It is for all practitioners who perform any skin penetration procedures that require the use of topical anaesthetic.
COURSE OUTLINE
Physiology of Nerve Conduction: Nerve anatomy, electrophysiology of nerve conduction, voltage gated channels
Historical Perspective: We begin at the 1800s with the introduction of cocaine hydrochloride.
Pharmacodynamics: How anaesthetics block generation and conduction of nerve signals. Understanding the basic classes of esters and amides, including additions of epinephrine
Pharmacokinetics: Identify the pathways of absorption, distribution and metabolism
Toxicity: Safety, adverse reactions and their management
Topical Local Anaesthetics: Ingredients, over the counter, compounding and prescription. Scheduling of medicines, client consent, medical history and indemnity
