Abdominal Surgery Without General Anesthesia
Source: GastroIntestinal / Gastroenterology News From Medical News Today [2009.11.04]
A recent review in Faculty of 1000 Medicine Reports, a publication in which clinicians highlight advances in medical practice, suggests regional pain relief could be used during abdominal surgery. In this review, Michael Schaefer recommends a new approach that can be performed without the need for general anaesthetics.

Need For Emergency Airway Surgery For Hard-to-Intubate Patients Reduced
Source: Respiratory / Asthma News From Medical News Today [2009.11.18]
Be prepared, that old Boy Scout motto, is being applied with great success to operating room patients whose anatomy may make it difficult for physicians to help them breathe during surgery, Johns Hopkins researchers report in a new study. When patients undergo general anesthesia, they stop breathing on their own and anesthesiologists must quickly insert a tube into the airway as a first step in machine-assisted breathing.
New Technique For Injectable Facial Fillers Improves Comfort, Recovery

Less pain during injections for wrinkle-fighting facial fillers. Less swelling afterward. Less time in the office waiting for anesthesia to take effect. These and other benefits of a new injection technique that UT Southwestern Medical Center plastic surgeons are helping pioneer are outlined in the October issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Published Studies Related to Dentipatch (Lidocaine Buccal)
Anesthetic efficacy of supplemental buccal and lingual infiltrations of articaine and lidocaine after an inferior alveolar nerve block in patients with irreversible pulpitis. [2009.07]
INTRODUCTION: The success rate of inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) decreases in patients with irreversible pulpitis. It was hypothesized that supplemental infiltration of lidocaine and articaine may improve the success rates... CONCLUSIONS: Although supplemental buccal and lingual infiltrations of 4% articaine or 2% lidocaine increased the success rate of the inferior alveolar nerve block in patients with irreversible pulpitis, none of the techniques provided acceptable success rates.
Articaine buccal infiltration enhances the effectiveness of lidocaine inferior alveolar nerve block. [2009.03]
CONCLUSIONS: The IANB injection supplemented with articaine buccal infiltration was more successful than IANB alone for pulpal anaesthesia in mandibular teeth. Articaine buccal infiltration or dummy buccal infiltration was more comfortable than IANB.
Intrauterine lidocaine plus buccal misoprostol in the endometrial biopsy. [2007.05]
OBJECTIVE:: To evaluate the efficacy of intrauterine lidocaine plus buccal misoprostol in reducing the discomfort caused by endometrial biopsy with a suction curette... CONCLUSION:: Intrauterine lidocaine plus buccal misoprostol appears to be effective in decreasing pain in premenopausal women undergoing endometrial biopsy with a suction curette.
Anesthetic efficacy of buccal and lingual infiltrations of lidocaine following an inferior alveolar nerve block in mandibular posterior teeth. [2007.01]
The authors, using a crossover design, randomly administered, in a single-blind manner, 3 sets of injections: an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) plus a mock buccal and a mock lingual infiltration of the mandibular first molar, an IANB plus a buccal infiltration and a mock lingual infiltration of the mandibular first molar, and an IANB plus a mock buccal infiltration and a lingual infiltration of the mandibular first molar in 3 separate appointments spaced at least 1 week apart.
Injection pain of prilocaine plain, mepivacaine plain, articaine with epinephrine, and lidocaine with epinephrine. [2006.05]
In a double-blind study design, 1,391 consecutive patients in a general dental practice received one of four different local anesthetics (articaine with epinephrine, lidocaine with epinephrine, mepivacaine plain, or prilocaine plain) via a maxillary buccal infiltration, palatal infiltration, or inferior alveolar block injection...
Clinical Trials Related to Dentipatch (Lidocaine Buccal)
Jet Injection of 1% Buffered Lidocaine Versus Topical ELA-Max for Anesthesia Prior to Intravenous (IV) Catheterization in Children [Completed]
This trial is a comparison of the anesthetic effectiveness of J-Tip needle-free jet injection
of 1% buffered lidocaine to the anesthetic effectiveness of topical 4% ELA-Max for peripheral
intravenous catheter (PIV) insertion. The researchers hypothesize that the jet injection of
lidocaine will provide superior anesthesia to the ELA-Max prior to PIV insertion.
Evaluation of Topical Liposomal Lidocaine and Oral Sucrose for Treatment of Pain in Newborns Undergoing Venipuncture [Recruiting]
The objective of this study is to determine the relative efficacy of sucrose, liposomal
lidocaine, and sucrose plus liposomal lidocaine, on reducing pain during venipuncture in
newborn infants.
Intraoperative Lidocaine Infusion for Analgesia (ILIA) [Not yet recruiting]
Please state clearly the hypothesis to be tested, in lay terms.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of intravenous lidocaine infusion administered during
general anesthesia in:
1. Reducing length of hospital stay following total abdominal hysterectomy;
2. Reducing postoperative analgesic requirement following total abdominal hysterectomy.
Hypothesis: The addition of an intraoperative lidocaine infusion to a balanced anesthetic
technique will result in up to 50% of patients being discharged after postoperative day 2
compared with the current 21%. Also, it will result in a 30% reduction in opiod consumption
during the first 48 hours following total abdominal hysterectomy.
Assumption: Patients in the intervention and control groups will be titrated to approximately
equal analgesia because they will self-administer enough pain-controlling medications to make
their postoperative pain experience the same.
Primary outcomes:
1. Length of hospital stay;
2. Total opioid use at 48 hours postoperatively.
Secondary outcomes. The following data will be collected and analyzed:
1. Intraoperative data: BIS scores (to control depth of anesthesia); intraoperative serum
lidocaine levels; intraoperative opioid use;
2. Opioid use in the recovery room;
3. Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) morphine requirements postoperatively up to 48
hours;
4. Oral pain controlling medication use up to 48 hours postoperatively if IV PCA
discontinued before 48 hours;
5. Verbal Analogue Scale (VAS) pain scores in recovery room and during first 2 days
post-operatively;
6. Incidence of side effects that can be attributed to local anesthetic toxicity;
7. Incidence of nausea and vomiting and anti-emetic use up to 48 hours postoperatively;
8. Time of first flatus and first bowel movement.
Perioperative Protective Effects of Lidocaine [Recruiting]
Evaluation of Topical Lidocaine Spray as Adjuvant to Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Children [Completed]
There is some controversy in the medical literature regarding the effectiveness of topical
lidocaine in children as an adjuvant drug to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. In children,
deep sedation and general anesthesia are often used to sedate children submitting to this
procedure. Propofol is an anesthetic drug increasingly popular in this situation, but this
drug can only be used with an anesthesiologist in Brazil. Its main side effects include
hypotension, respiratory depression and local pain. Lidocaine is frequently used as
premedication, and the rationale is that lowering patient discomfort could lower the required
dose to achieve the endoscopy and reduce potential side effects. Nevertheless, some patients
perceive this medication as uncomfortable. This study aims to compare sedative drug doses
between patients who were given either placebo or topical lidocaine.
