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 stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting sodium ion influx through voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby blocking the initiation and propagation of action potentials, resulting in 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.
Maximum 4.5 mg/kg (not to exceed 300 mg) via subcutaneous infiltration, epidural, or nerve block; repeat dosing after 30 minutes if needed.

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 hepatic impairment, congestive heart failure, or neonates.
Renal excretion of unchanged drug accounts for approximately 70% of elimination, with 30% undergoing hepatic metabolism and biliary/fecal elimination.
Renal: ~90% as metabolites (mostly 4-hydroxy-2,6-xylidine and conjugates); <10% unchanged. Biliary/fecal: minor.
