Accessible online at: www.karger.com/journals/res Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is widely employed by chest physicians around the world and enjoys a remarkable record of safety in a broad spectrum of patiens with a variety of clinical problems. Whether the bronchofiberscope is introduced transorally or transnasally, topical anesthesia is well tolerated. Cocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine, and lignocaine...
متن کاملRecent advances in topical anesthesia
Topical anesthetics act on the peripheral nerves and reduce the sensation of pain at the site of application. In dentistry, they are used to control local pain caused by needling, placement of orthodontic bands, the vomiting reflex, oral mucositis, and rubber-dam clamp placement. Traditional topical anesthetics contain lidocaine or benzocaine as active ingredients and are used in the form of so...
متن کاملLidocaine topical anesthesia for flexible bronchoscopy.
965 percent decrease in resistance in an airway in which the wall area was 45 percent. Since an increase in airway wall thickness is one of the pathogenetic mechanisms that leads to the decrease in maximal expiratory flow in patients who have COPD,2 it would be expected that those patients with more severe baseline airflow obstruction would have thicker airway walls. Thus, another explanation f...
متن کاملPlasma concentrations of lignocaine during fibreoptic bronchoscopy.
Peak plasma concentrations of lignocaine were recorded in 41 patients receiving topically applied lignocaine for fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Adequate anaesthesia was achieved in all patients with an average dose per unit weight of 9.3 +/- 0.5 mg/kg (SEM) giving a mean peak plasma concentration of 2.9 +/- 0.5 mg/l-1 (SEM) (+/- SEM 0.5). The plasma concentration exceeded toxic levels of 5.0 mg/l-1 i...
متن کاملRecent advances in neuromuscular block during anesthesia
Muscle relaxation is a routine part of anesthesia and has important advantages. However, the lingering effects of muscle relaxants in the postoperative period have historically been associated with postoperative adverse events. Neuromuscular reversal, together with neuromuscular monitoring, is a recognized strategy to reduce the rate of postoperative residual relaxation but has only marginally ...
