lidocaine/edema

BACKGROUND Blepharoplasty is the fourth most commonly performed cosmetic surgery in the US, with 207,000 operations in 2014. Lidocaine is the preferred anesthetic agent for blepharoplasty. METHODS We describe the unusual case of acute periorbital edema following local anesthesia with lidocaine for

Nasal osteotomies are the most important cause of periorbital edema and ecchymosis. Injection of lidocaine and adrenaline is recommended to reduce bleeding. Whilst the lidocaine and adrenaline combination (LAC) is claimed to reduce postoperative ecchymosis and edema, this effect remains to be proven

UNASSIGNED To report a case of transient visual loss following uncomplicated cataract surgery with unpreserved intracameral lidocaine. UNASSIGNED A 61-year-old woman with nuclear sclerosis cataract underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification and in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL)

Recently lidocaine (Ld) has been reported to have beneficial effects on neural suppression caused by experimental cerebral ischemia or spinal cord injury. In this paper, the effects of Ld on brain edema, local cerebral blood flow (lCBF), and neural function in the thalamocortical and cortical

Sympathetic hyperactivity during sudden intracranial hypertension leads to cardiovascular instability, myocardial dysfunction, and neurogenic pulmonary edema. Because spinal anesthesia is associated with sympatholysis, we investigated the protective effects of intrathecal lidocaine in a rodent

A series of experiments was conducted to clarify the effect of intravenous administration of lidocaine on brain water content, local cerebral blood flow (lCBF), and neural recovery in brain injury induced by exposure of the cat's cerebral surface to the air. The injury produced ischemia and edema in

BACKGROUND No drug therapy has demonstrated improved clinical outcomes in the treatment of sepsis. A bolus of adenosine, lidocaine, and magnesium (ALM) has been shown to be cardioprotective and restore coagulopathy in different trauma states. We hypothesized that ALM therapy may improve

Lidocaine hydrochloride is the most commonly used anesthetic agent in dermatology. Despite its widespread and frequent use, adverse reactions to lidocaine are uncommon. The majority of side effects include vasovagal reactions and local side effects consisting of bruising and edema at the injection

OBJECTIVE To describe an atypical presentation of intraoperative anaphylaxis due to fentanyl. METHODS A 40-yr-old otherwise healthy woman was admitted for abdominal hysterectomy. She denied any drug allergies or past adverse anesthetic reactions. Physical examination, vital signs, and laboratory

Experimental infection of mice with foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) induces a necrotizing pancreatitis of the exocrinar portion of the organ. The lesions are characterized by vascular congestion, edema and interstitial polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) infiltrates. When infected mice were

OBJECTIVE To provide rhinologic surgeons with an understanding of acute negative-pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) and its treatment. METHODS Case report and literature review of all published adult cases of NPPE. Patient factors, anesthetic variables, and outcomes are assessed. RESULTS A total of 146

Local anesthetics have several effects on wound healing. In experimental studies, procaine at high concentrations has been proved to retard healing in surgical wounds by diminishing the synthesis of mucopolysaccharides and hence probably collagen. Other studies have shown that lidocaine and

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of saline solution, bupivacaine, lidocaine and tramadol infiltration on wound healing in rats. METHODS Thirty-two male Wistar Albino rats were randomly separated into four groups, receiving 3 mL saline solution in control group (Group C,

The pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of four topical lidocaine patches 5% continuously applied for 72 hours and changed every 12 or 24 hours were examined. In this randomized, prospective, multiple-dose, open-label pharmacokinetic study, lidocaine patches were applied to healthy men and
