Comparison of Lidocaine-Distilled Water and Lidocaine-Mgso4 Mixture in Epidural Anesthesia of Dog

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...

Preliminary comparison of lidocaine and xylazine as caudal epidural anesthesia for embryo collection in cows

Comparison of Lidocaine, Xylazine, and a Combination of Lidocaine and Xylazine for Caudal Epidural Analgesia in Dromedary Camels

Objective- This study was performed to investigate the analgesic effects of lidocaine, xylazine and lidocaine/xylazine combination in epidural anesthesia in dromedary camels. Design- Experimental Study Animals- Fifteen healthy immature dromedary camels Methods- The camels were randomly designed in 3 equal groups. In group L: lidocaine 2% (0.22 mg/kg), in group X: xylazine 2% (0.17 mg/kg), an...

Effect of Epidural Anesthesia with Lidocaine and Bupivacaine on Gastrointestinal Transit Time in Healthy Dogs

Design- Prospective, randomized experimental study. Animals-Five healthy mixed breed male dogs with 19.2±7.8 months age and 19.9±3.3 kg weight Procedure- The animals received one of the treatments of sa...

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 ...
