    Lithium is a popular psychiatric medication, but its narrow therapeutic index and side effects can complicate anesthesia. Understanding lithium

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Lithium is widely prescribed for psychiatric disorders.
    • Its use presents anesthetic challenges due to a narrow therapeutic index and potential side effects.

    Observation:

    • Two case reports detail anesthetic complications in patients on lithium therapy.
    • These cases highlight difficulties encountered during surgical procedures.

    Findings:

    • Lithium's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties can significantly impact anesthetic management.
    • Dose- and non-dose-related side effects require careful consideration.

    Implications:

    • Oral and maxillofacial surgeons must be aware of lithium's effects to ensure patient safety.
