Local anesthesia using buffered 0.5% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine for tumors of the digits treated with Mohs micrographic surgery.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Several specialties and textbooks continue to advocate that local anesthesia using epinephrine should not be used during surgery involving the digits. OBJECTIVE: We sought to assess the association between local anesthesia (buffered 0.5% ... Read more...

Patients' preferences for positioning during phaco-emulsification under topical-intracameral anaesthesia.

30 Aug 2009 In many eye departments it is routine to ask patients to lie completely flat for cataract surgery. However, many patients prefer not to lie completely flat, if given the choice. It is our practice to ensure patients are in a comfortable position ... Read more...

Long-acting local anesthetics attenuate FMLP-induced acute lung injury in rats.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a mediator of lung diseases and a potent pulmonary vasoconstrictor. In addition to thromboxane A2, it participates in the formation of lung edema. Both lidocaine and mepivacaine attenuate the increase of pulmonary ... Read more...
