. The patient's BP and HR changed from 126/60 mm Hg and 68 bpm before induction of general anesthesia to 96/48 mm Hg and 72 bpm after induction, respectively. We administered ephedrine (4 mg); the BP then increased to 201/166 mm Hg, and marked ST-segment elevation was noted on the monitor ( Figure 2 B). The ST-segment elevation returned to baseline about 5 minutes later. The patient's BP and HR were 90/44 mm Hg and 72 bpm, respectively, 30 minutes after induction of anesthesia. We administered phenylephrine (0.1 mg); the patient's BP then rose to 196/110 mm Hg, and

intraoral dye marker. One of the 2 study drugs—20% benzocaine gel (HurriCaine Topical Anesthetic GEL, Beutlich LP Pharmaceuticals, Waukegan, Ill) or a combination product containing lidocaine 20%, tetracaine 4%, and phenylephrine 2% (TAC 20% Alternate Topical Anesthetic Gel Thick, Professional Arts Pharmacy, Lafayette, La)—was applied on the attached gingiva or alveolar mucosa overlying the intended anchorage site using a cotton-tipped applicator and was allowed to remain in contact with the tissue for the amount of time prescribed by the manufacturer (1.0 and 2.5 minutes

; Arrows indicate the timing each medication was administered. Ephedrine was given at 8 mg/bolus, phenylephrine at 0.05 mg/bolus, and dopamine at 2 μg/kg/min.

Mean changes in muscle blood flow during hypocapnia and after phenylephrine or butoxamine administration.

MBF and QBF increased during hypocapnia, while the increase in MBF was larger than that in QBF. Both MBF and QBF decreased to about 90% to 95% of their baseline levels after phenylephrine or butoxamine administration. Data are expressed as the percentage change in respective baseline values. MBF, masseter muscle tissue blood flow; QBF, quadriceps muscle tissue blood flow. aP < .05 versus baseline; dP < .05 versus hypocapnia; cP < .05 between the 2 groups.

Figure 5. Cardiovascular effects of epinephrine and phenylephrine. Epinephrine increases heart rate (HR) by activating beta-1 receptors in the sinoatrial node, the heart's normal pacemaker. It also activates beta-1 receptors on myocardial cells, increasing their contractility and increasing systolic blood pressure (SBP). However, at low doses such as those provided in local anesthetic formulations, it activates beta-2 receptors on systemic arteries, producing vasodilation. This decline in arterial resistance produces a reduction in diastolic pressure (DBP). The sum of these effects results in little change of mean arterial pressure (MAP). In contrast, phenylephrine activates only alpha receptors, increasing arterial resistance and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure also rises as the heart compensates for this increase in resistance by increasing its contractility and venoconstriction increases venous return (preload). The net effect is an increase in mean arterial pressure, which is sensed in baroreceptors, and a reflex slowing of heart rate supervenes. (Adapted from Westfall et al.11)

muscle which predominantly has fast-twitch fibers. 11 , 12 METHODS Forty Japanese White rabbits (Sankyo Labo) weighing ∼2.5 kg were used in this study. All animals received humane care in accordance with the National Institute of Health guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals and The Guidelines for the Treatment of Experimental Animals of Tokyo Dental College. 13 The animals were randomly allocated evenly (n = 8) into 1 of 5 groups: (1) phentolamine, (2) metaproterenol, (3) phenylephrine, (4) butoxamine, and (5) atropine
