Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, stabilizes neuronal membranes by inhibiting sodium ion channels, blocking initiation and conduction of nerve impulses. Epinephrine causes vasoconstriction via alpha-1 adrenergic receptor activation, reducing systemic absorption of lidocaine and prolonging local effect.
Lidocaine is an amide-type local anesthetic that stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting sodium ion channels, thereby blocking the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses. It also has antiarrhythmic properties by decreasing automaticity in Purkinje fibers and suppressing ventricular arrhythmias.
Topical administration via laryngeal spray: 1-2 sprays (10-20 mg) to the larynx and pharynx, repeated as needed up to every 1-2 hours, not to exceed 8 sprays per 24 hours.
Intrathecal administration for spinal anesthesia: 50-100 mg (1.5-2 mL of 5% solution) as a single dose. For continuous epidural or peripheral nerve block, 0.8% solution with dextrose 5% is not typically used; refer to 1-2% lidocaine without dextrose for continuous infusion.

Terminal elimination half-life is 1.5–2 hours (mean 1.8 h), necessitating frequent dosing for sustained effect.
Terminal elimination half-life: 1.5-2 hours (adults); prolonged in heart failure (up to 5-8 hours) or hepatic impairment (up to 10-15 hours). Clinically, context indicates redistribution half-life ~8 minutes.
Renal excretion of unchanged drug accounts for approximately 70% of elimination, with 30% undergoing hepatic metabolism and biliary/fecal elimination.
Renal (metabolites: 4-hydroxyxylidine, glycylxylidide, monoethylglycinexylidide; <10% unchanged). Biliary/fecal negligible.
