All of the options listed contribute to decreasing the possibility of LAST. Using a standard scale to determine accurate body weight helps in calculating proper dosages of local anesthetics. Adhering to MRDs set by the AAPD ensures that the dosage of local anesthetics given is safe for children. Anesthetizing only the quadrants currently being treated helps in reducing the total dose of local anesthetics given, decreasing the risk of LAST.
