ブピバカイン
ブピバカインは強力で長時間作用型のアミド系局所麻酔薬であり、獣医療において局所麻酔、硬膜外麻酔、および神経周囲の鎮痛に広く使用されています。リドカインと比較して効果の発現は遅いですが、作用時間は著しく長くなります(6〜8時間)。 > **警告:** ブピバカインを静脈内投与すると重篤な心毒性を引き起こします。注射前には必ず吸引し、針が血管内に入っていないことを確認する必要があります。
作用機序: Bupivacaine produces reversible blockade of **voltage-gated sodium channels** in nerve fibres → prevents the influx of sodium required for depolarization → inhibits the propagation of action potentials → results in local anaesthesia and analgesia.
動物種別の用量
- Regional, epidural, perineural, or intrapleural analgesia · Up to 2 mg/kg · Perineural/Epidural/Intrapleural · q8h · As needed · Unlikely to be associated with systemic side effects at this dose. Onset is 20-30 minutes for epidural; duration is 6-8 hours.
- Regional, epidural, perineural, or intrapleural analgesia · Up to 2 mg/kg · Perineural/Epidural/Intrapleural · q8h · As needed · Unlikely to be associated with systemic side effects at this dose. Cats may be more sensitive to local anaesthetic toxicity; use conservative dosing.

投与経路
禁忌
- Intravenous (IV) administration
- Intravenous regional anaesthesia (Bier block)
- Use of adrenaline-containing formulations at end-arterial sites (e.g., tail, digits, ears)
- Use of adrenaline-containing formulations when significant systemic absorption is likely
有害事象
- Severe cardiac arrhythmias (if injected intravascularly)
- Motor blockade (paresis/paralysis of affected limbs)
- CNS toxicity (seizures, tremors) at high systemic doses
- Hypotension (especially with epidural use)
薬物相互作用
- Other local anaesthetics (e.g., lidocaine, mepivacaine) · Additive systemic toxicity; doses must be reduced when used concurrently. · major
モニタリング
- Aspiration for blood prior to injection (mandatory)
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) during and after block placement
- Blood pressure
- Respiratory rate and effort (especially with epidural or intrapleural use)
- Motor function recovery
過量投与
Overdose or inadvertent IV injection leads to profound **CNS toxicity** (muscle twitching, seizures, coma) and **cardiovascular toxicity** (profound hypotension, bradycardia, ventricular arrhythmias, asystole). > **Clinical Pearl:** Bupivacaine-induced cardiac arrest is notoriously resistant to standard CPR. **Intravenous Lipid Emulsion (ILE) therapy** (e.g., Intralipid 20%) is the specific antidote and should be administered immediately alongside standard resuscitation efforts.
