Lidocaine (lignocaine) was given in 42 episodes of status epilepticus (SE) in 36 patients either because of limited pulmonary reserve (22 patients) or because of lack of response to diazepam (14 patients). Lidocaine (1.5-2 mg/kg) was given intravenously in two minutes. A further identical bolus was infused if no response had occurred or if seizures recurred. With the first bolus 11 episodes of ...

Background and study aims It is important to examine the pharynx during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Pharyngeal anesthesia using topical lidocaine is generally used as pretreatment. In Japan, lidocaine viscous solution is the anesthetic of choice, but lidocaine spray is applied when the former is considered insufficient. However, the relationship between the extent of pharyngeal anesthesia...

INTRODUCTION Achieving profound pulpal anesthesia can be difficult in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. This study provides a systematic review and meta-analysis to address the population, intervention, comparison, outcome (PICO) question: in adults with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis who are undergoing endodontic treatment, what is the comparative efficacy of articaine compar...

Introduction: Although adding a local anesthetic is an effective way to reduce pain during intradermal Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections, it not clear if the control as when performing injections close bone. The primary aim of these preliminary observations was explore this issue. As secondary aim, we wanted assess addition lidocaine alters behavior HA gel in tissues over time. Subjects: Two wome...

BACKGROUND The mechanisms that underlie the supraspinal central nervous system effects of systemic lidocaine are poorly understood and not solely explained by Na(+) channel blockade. Among other potential targets is the hyperpolarization-activated cation current, I(h), which is blocked by lidocaine in peripheral neurons. I(h) is highly expressed in the thalamus, a brain area previously implicat...

INTRODUCTION Buffered local anesthetics have not been studied for incision and drainage procedures in dentistry. The purpose of this prospective, randomized, double-blind study was to compare the pain of infiltration and pain of an incision and drainage procedure by using a buffered versus a nonbuffered 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine solution in symptomatic patients with a diagnosis of...

TOPIC: Cardiovascular Disease TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: The frequency of new onset left bundle branch block (LBBB) during anaesthesia and surgery is rare. most common causes for LBBB are structural heart diseases, acute myocardial infarction, dilated cardiomyopathy, failure, exercise-induced LBBB[1]. We present a rare case Lidocaine-induced Intermittent Left Bund...

This article is focused on the determination of lidocaine hydrochloride as a local anaesthetic drug. A potentiometric method based on modified screen-printed and modified carbon paste ion-selective electrodes was described for the determination of lidocaine hydrochloride in different pharmaceutical preparations. It was based on potentiometric titration of lidocaine hydrochloride using modified ...
