LOCAL ANAESTHESIA IN GYNAECOLOGY

Caesarean in mare by Marcenac incision under local anaesthesia

A nulliparous non-descript mare was presented with a complaint of dystocia. The mare was recumbent and physical examination revealed that the animal was in shock. There was no straining and foetal forelimbs were visible outside the vulva. The foetus was dead as there was no pedal reflex. Vaginal examination revealed anterior presentation with dorso-sacral position and rigid lateral head deviati...

Local Anaesthesia.

This article describes current concepts in the mechanism of action of local anaesthetic drugs and discusses recent advances in the equipment and drugs that may be used to provide intra-oral anaesthesia.

What's new in local anaesthesia?

In this paper I have explored four areas of current interest to pain control in dentistry. Articaine HCl, the most recent addition to the dental LA armamentarium, has become a favoured drug in many, if not most, countries in which it is available. Rapid onset and improved hard- and soft-tissue penetration enable articaine HCl to be administered with great success as a mandibular infiltration, p...

Recent advances in local anaesthesia.

In general, the cardiovascular system is more resistant to the toxic actions of local anaesthetics than is the central nervous system. However, if sufficient doses and blood levels of local anaesthetics are achieved, signs of profound cardiovascular depression may be observed. Differences exist between local anaesthetics in terms of their relative potential for cardiotoxicity. The CC/CNS ratio ...
