Lignocaine is one of the most used local anesthetic drug in health facilities,it comes in a presentation of 2%,1%.Knowing it's presentation is very important,there is one with Adrenaline and another without

Dosages
Plain=3mg/kgbwt
With Adrenaline=7mg/kgbwt
These are maximum doses,do not exceed

At OPD,use a plain one

2% means 2000mg of Lidocaine was dissolved in 100mls of water for injection and;
1% means 1000mg of Lidocaine was dissolved in 100mls of water for injection

E.g.2% lignocaine
60kg woman who sustains an injury(plain)
60*3=180mg
Therefore;

2000mg ➡️ 100mls
180mg ➡️(180mg*100mls)/2000mg
=9mls
Meaning: if you are using 2%,you can not give more than 9mls=best avoid 2%

E.g.1% lignocaine
60kg woman who sustains an injury(plain)
60*3=180mg
Therefore;

1000mg ➡️ 100mls
180mg ➡️(180mg*100mls)/1000mg
=18mls
Meaning: if using 1%,you can not give more than 18mls

E.g.0.5% lignocaine
60kg woman who sustains an injury(plain)
60*3=180mg
Therefore;

500mg ➡️ 100mls
180mg ➡️(180mg*100mls)/500mg
=36mls
Meaning: if using 0.5%,you cannot give more than 36mls.

Avoid Lignocaine in the following
1. P***s P***s
2. 👃 Tip of the nose
3. 👂 Lobes
4. 🤌 Fingers

In short ;
To make 1% from 2% Lignocaine
➡️ Add 1ml of sterile water for injection to 1mls 2% Lignocaine.

To make 0.5% from 2% Lignocaine
➡️ Add 2ml of sterile water for injection to 1mls 2% Lignocaine
