The aim of this investigation was to compare the clinical effects and pharmacokinetics of lidocaine (one metabolite) and mepivacaine (two metabolites) in 2 groups of 15 patients undergoing axillary brachial plexus anaesthesia. The study had a randomised design. The 30 patients were divided into 2 groups. The patients received either lidocaine (600 mg = 2.561 mMol + 5 mg ml(-1) adrenaline) or me...

Aim: To investigate the precipitate formed from interaction between 2% lidocaine hydrochloride with adrenaline (LA) 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 0.2% chitosan nanoparticles on root canal dentin, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Material Methods: Sixty mandibular premolars were decoronated, length standardised. The specimens randomly distributed into following groups: Group 1 (c...

BACKGROUND Use of Mayfield clamps is associated with potentially hazardous hemodynamic effects. Use of local anesthetic infiltration has yielded varying results in blunting of this response. The authors' objective was to study the effect of lidocaine with adrenaline infiltration at Mayfield pin sites on hemodynamic response in comparison with no intervention. METHODS This was a prospective co...

result in the catheter and needle hitting the dura at different points. This would explain the low incidence of subarachnoid catheterization when the needle is not turned. of four subarachnoid solutions in a needle through needle technique for elective Caesarean section. Single space combined spinal-extradural technique for analgesia during labour. Sir,—McCrirrick and Monk [1] provided interest...

Introduction: Various hemostatic and analgesic agents and techniques have been used to reduce intraoperative and postoperative hemorrhage and pain in tonsillectomy.Aims and objective; The current study aimed to compare the effect of using adrenaline plus tramadol and normal saline in maintaining hemostasis and control of pain in cold dissection tonsillectomy.   Materials and Methods: This pros...

Background: Although lidocaine inferior alveolar nerve block is a common dental injection in case of managing mandibular teeth, it may not be the first choice in specific situations. Patients on warfarin therapy are at high risk of bleeding during dental procedures. In this study we aimed to investigate and compare the efficacy of articaine buccal infiltration in mandibular teeth extraction wit...

An ideal local anesthetic should act swiftly and be efficacious without causing discomfort or toxicity. Buffered is useful when it comes to limiting toxicity because of the reduced volume that needed decreased time takes effective compared with other conventional means. anesthesia uses sodium bicarbonate mixed into lidocaine prior injection neutralize acid. All patients were explicated about st...

Tumescent infiltration is a widely used type of regional anaesthesia for cutaneous surgery. This technique makes it possible to administer high doses of lidocaine and adrenaline within the safety limits, leading to reduction in pain and bleeding during the operation. In this study, tumescent infiltration of lidocaine and adrenaline was used in routine procedures of burn surgery such as escharec...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of ropivacaine with those of lidocaine on the intraocular pressure (IOP) and the quality of the blockade in peribulbar anesthesia for cataract surgery. Fifty patients were allocated randomly into two groups and received 7-10 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine or 2% lidocaine with adrenaline, though the peribulbar two-point injection. The quality of the bloc...
