Questions for those who have done these. Wound up having to do a spinal in the ASC after patient insisted.
I have read about 2 chloroprocaine spinals being effective for short procedures but what concentration do you use?
Our pharmacy carries this: "NESACAINE-MPF 3% chloroprocaine HCL injection"
Is there a difference between chloroprocaine and 2-chloroprocaine? I always thought the 2 referred to 2%
Has anyone used this 3% concentration at a volume of 1cc to achieve 30mg in your spinal?
Also do we just ignore the fact that it says not for spinal on the bottle?
Is the MPF referring to preservative free or Methylparaben free? The literature I'm reading says it must be preservative free.
Thanks in advance...I freely admit I'm unfamiliar with this
