Pharmacokinetic model for procaine in humans during and following intravenous infusion.

A multicompartment pharmacokinetic model is presented to describe procaine distribution in humans during and following intravenous infusion. The model, based on a general perfusion model, relates individual characteristics such as sex, age, weight, height, infusion rate and duration, and hematocrit to general parameters such as drug metabolism, protein binding, ion-trapping effects, and tissue-plasma distribution coefficients to provide an individualized distribution prediction. Experimentally observed kinetics of blood procaine levels collected during intravenous procaine infusion as an adjunct to surgical anesthesia and blood lidocaine levels obtained from the literature compared very well with the model simulation.
