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 blocks sodium channels, thereby inhibiting the propagation of action potentials in peripheral nerves, leading to local anesthesia.
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.
Spinal anesthesia: 1.5-2 mL (22.5-30 mg lidocaine) for lower extremity or perineal procedures; 2-3 mL (30-45 mg) for lower abdominal or urological procedures. Administered via lumbar puncture.

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 in adults with normal hepatic function; may be prolonged to 3–5 hours in patients with hepatic impairment or congestive heart failure.
Renal excretion of unchanged drug accounts for approximately 70% of elimination, with 30% undergoing hepatic metabolism and biliary/fecal elimination.
Renal excretion of metabolites (predominantly 4-hydroxy-2,6-xylidine and conjugates) accounts for >80% of elimination; less than 10% eliminated unchanged in urine. Biliary/fecal excretion of metabolites contributes <10%.
