Allergic reaction to an amide local anaesthetic.
A 67-yr-old female patient gave a history of allergy to lignocaine. When she was challenge-tested with the intradermal injection of 0.5% bupivacaine 0.2ml she had a systemic reaction. This reaction was accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of complement C4 in the plasma, which indicated that the reaction was immunologically-mediated. This is the first report of allergy to a local anaes...

متن کاملEffects of concentration of local anaesthetic drugs in extradural block.
An increase in the concentration of bupivacaine from 0.5% to 0.75% and etidocaine from 1.0% to 1.5% for extradural block resulted in a more rapid onset of sensory analgesia and motor blockade, a greater frequency of adequate analgesia,a greater depth of motor block and a longer duration of sensory analgesia and motor blockade. An increase in the concentration of prilocaine from 2% to 3% failed ...
