Overview Local anesthetics are administered daily for many procedures in various clinical settings for patients across the lifespan; however, the complication of local anesthetic system toxicity (LAST) is often missing or briefly discussed in training programs for clinicians. It is crucial for any provider administering local anesthetic to be knowledgeable of risk factors and early recognition, including common central nervous system and cardiovascular manifestations of LAST. Additionally, the provider should be knowledgeable about the emergent management of LAST reviewing the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine checklist, pharmacologic interventions and deviations from routine advanced resuscitative measures. Upon completion of this presentation, the nurse practitioner should also be able to identify prevention strategies that can be implemented into clinical practice. Objectives
- Assess risk factors and recognize early signs and symptoms of Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST) to facilitate timely intervention.
- Implement evidence-based guidelines for the emergent resuscitation of patients experiencing LAST, including appropriate pharmacologic interventions.
- Differentiate deviations in routine advanced resuscitative measures specific to LAST.
- Develop and integrate prevention strategies into clinical practice to effectively reduce the occurrence of LAST.
