Activity Description

Lidocaine is a tertiary amine class Ib antiarrhythmic agent primarily administered for local and topical anesthesia. In addition to its analgesic and antiarrhythmic effects, this drug can be used as an adjunct during tracheal intubation. Lidocaine's mechanism of action, dosing, pharmacokinetics, and relevant interactions are crucial for healthcare professionals to understand.

By enhancing their knowledge of lidocaine's pharmacokinetics and potential adverse effects, healthcare professionals can make informed decisions and adjust dosage regimens to achieve optimal patient outcomes. This program provides evidence-based strategies and equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge to deliver safe and effective care involving lidocaine administration. Additionally, this educational activity emphasizes the importance of the interprofessional healthcare team in providing care to patients receiving lidocaine.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, and dentists.

Learning Objectives

  • Evaluate the mechanism of action of lidocaine.

  • Assess the various indications for the use of lidocaine.
