Multiple angiolipomata treated with intravenous infusions of lignocaine
Clinical and Experimental Dermatology
|January 1, 1990
Abstract:
A 54-year-old woman with multiple tender angiolipomata was treated with intravenous infusions of lignocaine (5 mg/kg) in saline in a double-blind trial. The pain disappeared but reappeared gradually 3 weeks later. Central mechanisms may explain the mode of action of lignocaine. Infusions should be carried out during cardiac monitoring.

01:23Local Anesthetics: Common Agents and Their Applications
Local anesthetics (LAs) are commonly used for various applications in medical and dental procedures. Some of the common agents used are cocaine, lidocaine, and bupivacaine.
Cocaine is an ester of benzoic acid and methylecgogine. It is used to anesthetize and vasoconstrict locally. Currently, it is used primarily for topical applications. It is beneficial for surgeries on the upper respiratory tract, providing anesthesia and shrinking the mucosa. Cocaine in the form of cocaine hydrochloride is...

01:11Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia
Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...
