Correction Request for Card on Local Anesthetics
The current card states:
Cocaine is a local anesthetic commonly associated with cardiac arrhythmias.
This is incorrect. The correct information should state:
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that is commonly associated with cardiac arrhythmias, especially when improperly administered. While adverse drug interactions with lidocaine are rare, systemic side effects, including arrhythmias, can occur with improper administration.
The card’s extra information further supports that the topic is about lidocaine, not cocaine. I recommend modifying the card to reflect this correction to ensure accuracy for all users.
