Post-training intracerebroventricular administration of procaine (20 micrograms/microliter) and dimethocaine (10 or 20 micrograms/microliter), local anesthetics of the ester class, prolonged the latency (s) in the retention test of male and female 3-month-old Swiss albino mice (25-35 g body weight; N = 140) in the elevated plus-maze (mean +/- SEM for 10 male mice: control = 41.2 +/- 8.1; procai...

Bigeminal rhythm or premature ventricular contractions are frequently noted with the induction of anesthesia, with tracheal intubation, during dissection and manipulation of the heart and great vessels, and with nasotracheal aspiration in the postoper...
