Lidocaine (a sodium channel blocker) serves as an antiepilepsy drug in neonates. We present a neonate with a seizure disorder who acutely developed pupillary mydriasis secondary to lidocaine overdose. We suggest adding this side effect to the list of untoward effects of lidocaine and to the differential diagnosis of fixed dilated pupils in neonates treated with lidocaine. (J Child Neurol 2002; 17:400-401).

The presumed central nervous system effects of rocuronium in a neonate and its reversal with sugammadex
We describe a 2‐day‐old male infant who received rocuronium as part of general anesthesia for a tracheal esophageal fistula repair. Postoperatively, he had prolonged central and peripheral… Expand
A neonate with long QT syndrome, refractory ventricular arrhythmias, and lidocaine toxicity.
TLDR
A neonate with a compound mutation with refractory ventricular tachycardia that necessitated multimodal pharmacotherapy with lidocaine, esmolol, and amiodarone along with ventricular pacing is presented. Expand
Cardiac arrhythmias in neonates receiving lidocaine as anticonvulsive treatment
TLDR
It is demonstrated that continuous cardiac monitoring of neonates who receive lidocaine for neonatal seizures is indicated, as there is a risk to develop cardiac arrhythmias. Expand
Pharmacology Review: Lidocaine for Neonatal Seizure Management
TLDR
The effectiveness and safety of lidocaine are reviewed, the clinical value of routine measurements of drug concentrations because of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of lidOCaine are discussed, and the effects of therapeutic hypothermia on lidocane drug disposition and response are hypothesized. Expand
Development of an optimal lidocaine infusion strategy for neonatal seizures
TLDR
The optimal dosing regimen was developed, which was defined as an infusion regimen at which maximal lidocaine plasma concentrations are <9 mg/L, which should have a lower risk of cardiac arrhythmias and appears to be as effective in term infants. Expand

Outside the box: Medications worth considering when traditional antiepileptic drugs have failed
TLDR
Meds efficacious for seizure control, despite primary indications for other diseases, are discussed as treatment options in patients who have failed therapy with traditional antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Expand
Gene expression profiling reveals the mechanism of action of anticonvulsant drug QYS
TLDR
The results demonstrated that the latency was increased and the Tonus% of AGS was decreased in the animals treated with QYS, indicating that the drug effectively prevented audiogenic seizure. Expand

Lidocaine unmasks silent demyelinative lesions in multiple sclerosis
TLDR
Lidocaine was administered intravenously to 28 MS patients and to 19 normal subjects and seven patients with nondemyelinating diseases on the basis of the hypothesis that inhibition of a small number of sodium channels may prevent impulse conduction in some demyelinated segments of nerve fibers with low safety factors.

Effects of Intravenous Injectin of Lidocaine on the Cochlear Nerve Action Potentials
TLDR
Recording the single nerve action potentials which were evoked by electrical pulse applied to the cochlea through the round window membrane before and after intravenous injections of lidocaine indicate that intravenous injection of lidOCaine acts directly on the co chlear nerve and causes transient decrease of its excitability.
