Introduction: Lignocaine with adrenaline is used with local anaesthetics to improve the onset and increase the duration of nerve block. The present study aimed to evaluate it's effect when used together with ropivacaine. Objective: To evaluate the effect of adding 2% lignocaine with adrenaline to 0.5% ropivacaine, for supraclavicular brachial plexus blockade on the onset and duration of sensory...

Lumbar epidural blockade has been used in 317 subjects to compare the analgesic properties of the hydrochloride salts of lignocaine and prilocaine in 2 per cent and 3 per cent concentrations, with and without 1/200,000 adrenaline. Prilocaine has a slower onset and spread of analgesia than lignocaine. Duration of action and intensity of motor blockade is greater with plain prilocaine than with p...

The development of local anesthesia in dentistry has marked the beginning of a new era in terms of pain control. Lignocaine is the most commonly used local anesthetic (LA) agent even though it has a vasodilative effect and needs to be combined with adrenaline. Centbucridine is a non-ester, non amide group LA and has not been comprehensively studied in the dental setting and the objective was to...

The ultimate aim of the initiating the study was find out effect of admixture of Clonidine and/or Epinephrine on Lignocaine. After coadministering clonidine (150 μg, n=20) or Epinephrine (200 μg, n=20) to Lignocaine, end points like sensory or motor blockade, depth of anesthesia, cool and hot sensation, plasma level of Lignocaine was studied. Total 60 subjects received the combination aforesaid...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether the use of subcutaneous local anaesthetic (lignocaine) is associated with a reduction in cannulation pain in the emergency department setting. METHODS Patients over 18 with a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) of 15 and conversational English were allocated into one of three groups: Group 1 were cannulated after routine skin preparation; Group 2 received 1% lignocai...

Background Endotracheal intubation is an essential part of safe airway management but this stimulates the patient’s airway reflexes and predictably leads to haemodynamic derangement. Many drugs have been suggested in modifying in haemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation. Objectives To assess efficacy of three drugs esmolol, fentanyl and lignocaine and to assess which one is more ef...

Aim: To compare the efficacy of peribulbar with topical anaesthesia using Lignocaine 2% drops and jelly in manual small incision cataract surgery by quantitatively assessing both, the pain scores of the patient and the surgeon’s satisfaction. Materials and Methods: This was a randomized comparative study. The first 150 eyes of 148 patients were chosen. They were operated by two experienced surg...

To determine whether anaesthesia of the intrathoracic airways would attenuate the development of exercise-induced asthma, we studied eight symptomless asthmatic patients by cycle ergometry after saline or lignocaine pretreatment while they were breathing air at 24 degrees C with 9.1 mg of H2O/l. Pulmonary mechanics were measured before and after the administration of each agent, and again five ...

BACKGROUND Millions of women worldwide undergo postpartum perineal repair under local infiltration. Inadequate postpartum pain management can negatively impact a mother's physical and psychological recovery. AIMS To study and compare the analgesic effect and maternal satisfaction with lignocaine versus ropivacaine infiltration for postpartum perineal pain relief. MATERIALS AND METHODS After...

Lignocaine gel is an established topical anesthetic agent for cystoscopy in awake patients. We performed a prospective randomized study to evaluate whether cooling the lignocaine gel to 4 degrees C decreases the pain perception during cystoscopy in male patients. Sixty consecutive male patients undergoing rigid cystoscopy were randomized into two groups. Group I received 15 ml of 2% lignocaine ...
