Chloroprocaine is an ester class local anesthetic and is indicated for neuraxial anesthesia (caudal, epidural, and spinal) and peripheral nerve blocks and obstetric anesthesia (pudendal and paracervical blocks). Due to its short duration, it has been used in test doses to evaluate the function of peripheral nerve and epidural catheters. This activity reviews the mechanism of action, adverse event profile, toxicity, dosing, pharmacodynamics, and monitoring of chloroprocaine, pertinent for interprofessional team members where patient care requires local anesthesia that would be met using chloroprocaine.
