Abstract:

Objective- To compare the lidocaine-MgSO4 combination with lidocaine-Distilled water inthe epidural of indigenous awake dogs.Design- Prospective experimental study.Animals- Five young (12±2 months) female indigenous dogs weighting (10.74 ± 0.44 kg).Procedures- Epidural anesthesia was produced in all dogs with 2% lidocaine (1ml/4.5 kgbody weight) with 1 ml distilled water and two weeks later repeated by lidocaine (1ml/4.5kg) with 1 ml of 10% MgSO4. Time to recumbency, onset time, duration of analgesia andcranial spread of analgesia and standing time were recorded. Heart rate, Respiratory rateand body temperature were recorded at 0 minute prior to epidural administration of eachtreatment as a base line values and at 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 and 75 minutes afterwards. Statisticalanalysis included paired student t-test and ANOVA (Spss, soft ware of windows). p<0.05was considered as significant level.Results- Significant difference (p<0.05) was noted for onset of analgesia betweenLidocaine-Distilled water (2.04 ± 0.14 min) and Lidocaine-MgSO4 (4.70 ± 0.20 min).Lidocaine-MgSO4 produced analgesia of significantly longer duration (185 ± 5.13 min)than that of Lidocaine - Distilled water (49 ± 4.5 min). Lidocaine-Distilled water producedrecumbency at 1.48 ± 0.106 min after epidural administration but Lidocaine-MgSO4 didnot produce any recumbency throughout the study. Time to standing after epidural injectionof Lidocaine-Distilled water was 49.8 ± 1.56 min.Conclusion and clinical relevance The combination of Lidocaine-MgSO4 producedanalgesia longer than Lidocaine-Distilled water. Long lasting obstetrical and surgicalprocedures could commence relatively soon after epidural injection of Lidocaine-MgSO4and could be completed without re-administration of anesthetic agent.

Comparison of the application of lidocaine, lidocaine-dexamethasone and lidocaine-epinephrine for caudal epidural anesthesia in cows

The aim of the present study was to determine whether the addition of dexamethasone (DEX) or epinephrine to lidocaine (LID) altered the characteristics of anesthesia and cardiorespiratory variables following caudal epidural application in cows. Twenty adult dairy cows were randomly assigned to receive one of the treatments of LID (0.2 mg/kg), DEX (8 mg), lidocaine-dexamethasone (LIDEX; 0.2 mg/k...

Comparison of lidocaine and saline for epidural top-up during combined spinal-epidural anesthesia in volunteers.

This study was designed to determine the efficacy of saline as an epidural top-up to prolong spinal anesthesia during combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA). Eight volunteers received three separate CSEAs with intrathecal lidocaine (50 mg). After two-segment regression, each subject received either a saline (10 mL), lidocaine 1.5% (10 mL), or control sham (0.5 mL saline) epidural injection ...

Comparison of Duration of Spinal Anesthesia with Lidocaine or Lidocaine Plus Epinephrine between Addicts and Non-addicts

Background: Duration of spinal anesthesia depends on the type of anesthetic agent, dosage and additive materials such as epinephrine, ephedrine and opioid. We compared the duration of spinal anesthesia with lidocaine 5% with or without epinephrine in addict and non-addict patients undergoing inferior limb fracture surgery. Methods: This single blinded randomized clinical trial was performed on ...
