I need a little help refreshing my math skills on how to calculate max dosages of anesthetic for
Lidocaine and Articaine. Also, if you could show me how to calculate maximum EPI amounts
too, that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I've gotten this far:
Lidocaine 2% = 1.8 x 2 = 36mg/carp
Articaine 4% = 1.8 x 4= 72mg/carp ■

Here is what you need. This chart was prepared by Rose Jaeger, RDH, back when hygienists
were first becoming licensed to admin local. ■

Thanks for the reply, Brad. What a great chart! However, I still can't seem to figure out how
they're arriving at the maximum dosages of carps? ■
