Abstract:
In both human and veterinary medicine, local anesthetics are commonly included in the analgesic/anesthetic protocols and contribute not only to the reduction of the painful stimuli at the site of the procedure but also to reducing the dose of general anesthetics. This article describes the techniques used during dental procedures in rabbits, namely, mandibular nerve block, mental nerve block, maxillary nerve block, infraorbital nerve block, an intraligamentary anesthesia. Examples of common procedures in rabbits that would benefit from local analgesia are extraoral and intraoral tooth/teeth extractions, apicoectomies, mass excisions, and biopsies in the rostral part of the head.

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...
Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
