Intravenous regional analgesia with prilocaine for foot surgery.

Intravenous Regional Analgesia: an Appraisal.

Intravenous regional analgesia in a patient with Glanzmann thrombastenia.

Glanzmann thrombastenia (GT) is a rare condition of an inherited autosomal recessive gene characterized with bleeding tendency. The condition is rarely met in the OR. and therefore it is essential that anesthesiologist be cognizant of the risk involved and be prepared with all necessary precautionary measures. We present a GT case in a 27-year-old male with a mass in the anticubital region of r...

Comparison of the disposition kinetics of lidocaine and ( ± )prilocaine in 20 patients undergoing intravenous regional anaesthesia during day case surgery

Comparison of the disposition kinetics of lidocaine and (+/-)prilocaine in 20 patients undergoing intravenous regional anaesthesia during day case surgery.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this investigation was to compare the pharmacokinetics of lidocaine and prilocaine in two groups of 10 patients undergoing intravenous regional anaesthesia. METHOD The study had a randomized design. The patients were allocated to one of the two groups of 10. Each group received either lidocaine (200 mg = 0.855 mM) or prilocaine (Citanest, 200 mg = 0.909 mM), injected intr...
