Reducing the pain of intradermal lignocaine injection by pH buffering.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of pH on the pain of administration and efficacy of 1% lignocaine was investigated in a prospective, double-blind, randomized study of 20 adult volunteers. Onset and spread of anaesthesia by intra-dermal injection were not altered, but there was a significant reduction in pain scores with a higher pH. Overall, pain scores appear to be more dependent on the speed of injection rather than alteration of pH.

Effect of lignocaine and pH on propofol-induced pain.
Propofol has the disadvantage of pain on injection. A higher partition of propofol in the aqueous phase of the preparation causes a higher incidence of pain on injection while addition of 1% lignocaine to propofol reduces pain. The low concentration of this local anaesthetic and the rapid pain relief observed indicates that mechanisms other than local anaesthesia are involved, that is change in...
متن کاملRole of tramadol in reducing pain on propofol injection.
Propofol is frequently associated with pain on injection. We evaluated the effect of tramadol in a randomised, double-blind study using a tourniquet venous retention technique. Normal saline placebo was given intravenously to patients in Group 1 (n = 30),tramadol 50 mg to Group 2 (n = 30), and lignocaine 50 mg to Group 3 (n = 30). The venous retention of drugs was maintained for 1 minute, follo...

متن کاملCommentary: A prospective comparison between neutralizing the pH of 1% lidocaine with epinephrine (buffering) and pre-operative skin cooling in reducing the pain of infiltration of local anesthetic.
Dermatologic surgeons have long been trying to find ways to eliminate patient discomfort associated with dermatologic procedures. Although some dermatologic procedures, such as facial resurfacing and extensive procedures performed on children, require intravenous or general anesthesia, dermatologic surgical procedures usually require only local anesthesia, which is frequently administered via i...
