OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of intracorpus spongiosum anaesthesia during minor procedures on the glans and anterior urethra in the outpatient clinic. METHODS: Sixty-nine consecutive male patients underwent various procedures on the glans penis or anterior urethra under intracorpus spongiosum anaesthesia, which was performed by injection of 3 mL of 1% lidocaine into the glans penis. The effect of this anaesthetic technique was assessed by questionnaire using a pain scale. RESULTS: Following injection of lidocaine, the anaesthetic effect was immediate and very satisfactory. The minor procedures, varying from 8 to 68 minutes in duration, were successfully completed under the new local anaesthesia. Of the 69 patients, 63 (91.3%) felt no pain and six (8.7%) reported either minor or moderate discomfort that was tolerable and could be ignored. There were no serious complications with this anaesthetic technique except for three patients (4.3%) who had instantaneous trance during lidocaine injection. CONCLUSION: Intracorpus spongiosum anaesthesia is an effective, simple, safe anaesthetic technique for minor procedures on the glans and anterior urethra in an outpatient setting. With this new local anaesthesia, the total cost of many procedures on the glans and anterior urethra can be markedly reduced. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To test the feasibility of using the iontophoretic catheter as a means of delivering local anesthetic (lidocaine hydrochloride) to the urethra for periurethral injection of collagen. METHODS: Eight women with urodynamically proven genuine stress incontinence underwent periurethral collagen injections. Local anesthesia was provided by 4% lidocaine with 1 in 100,000 epinephrine administered over 10 minutes using an iontophoretic catheter. Pain was assessed by Likert and visual analogue scales. Cystoscopic appearance of the urethra was noted. RESULTS: The periurethral bulking procedure was completed without further anesthetic in 7 women, 1 of whom had no pain. There was no evidence of urethral damage from the iontophoresis. CONCLUSIONS: Iontophoresis shows promise as a method of providing analgesia to the urethra. However, the degree of analgesia is variable, and further research is needed on catheter design to ensure transport of anesthetic agent into the periurethral tissues. 相似文献

Up to 96% of patient who undergo prostate biopsy report pain. We performed periprostatic local anesthesia injection in an effort to improve patient acceptance of prostate biopsy. Sixty patients were randomized to receive either local injection of lidocaine in the periprostatic nerves or no anesthetic. Lidocaine was injected through a 7-inch spinal needle placed through a transrectal ultrasound biopsy guide. Ten-core biopsies were immediately performed. Following biopsy, all patients gave a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) assessment of their pain experienced during biopsy.A majority of patients reported Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores in the moderate (28.6%) or severe (28.6%) ranges unless local anesthesia was given. Only one of 27 patients (3.7%) receiving local anesthetic reported moderate pain, and none reported severe pain. Mean VAS pain scores were 1.4 in the anesthetic group and 4.5 in the control group (P<0.0001). No difficulty was encountered from scarring in the five patients who underwent nerve spring radical retropubic prostatectomy following local anesthetic injection. Periprostatic injection of local anesthetic essentially eliminates pain from prostate biopsy. Nerve-sparing radical retropubic prostatectomy is not more difficult as a result. 相似文献

Background: Recent volunteer and clinical studies of chloroprocaine (CP) have evaluated its use for outpatient spinal anesthesia. This retrospective review describes the discharge characteristics and reported side effects of spinal CP in a large number of patients undergoing outpatient procedures. Methods: All patients who received spinal anesthesia for ambulatory procedures over a 20‐month period were accessed using computer‐generated reports. Charts from 601 anesthetics were analyzed for spinal drug used, block characteristics, side effects and discharge data. Results: CP was the most frequently used spinal anesthetic (84% of cases, n=503) for outpatient procedures. CP (median dose 40 mg, range 20–60 mg) times from injection to ambulation and discharge were 107 ± 24 and 171 ± 45 min, respectively. Lidocaine (median dose 60 mg, range 30–100 mg, n=84) times from injection to ambulation and discharge were 155 ± 40 and 224 ± 57 min, respectively (P<0.05). The incidence of urinary retention, the most common side effect, was similar in both groups. There were no reports of transient neurologic symptoms. Conclusions: For ambulatory patients at our institution, the time to achievement of discharge criteria was significantly reduced with CP 40 vs. lidocaine 60 mg. There have been no reports of perioperative neurologic injury with the introduction of CP as a spinal anesthetic at our institution. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: This study investigated whether addition of 15 microg epinephrine plus 25 microg fentanyl to lidocaine spinal anesthesia for outpatient knee arthroscopy makes it possible to use a subanesthetic lidocaine dose. The aim was to assess the quality of anesthesia and the suitability of this protocol for outpatient knee arthroscopy. METHODS: Seventy-five outpatients scheduled for knee arthroscopy were randomly assigned to one of three spinal anesthetic protocols: Group L10F25 received 10 mg of lidocaine plus 25 micro g fentanyl; Group L10F25E15 received 10 mg of lidocaine plus 25 microg fentanyl plus 15 microg epinephrine; and Group L20F25 received 20 microg lidocaine plus 25 microg fentanyl. Tourniquet pain and surgical pain were assessed using a visual analog scale. If spinal anesthesia was inadequate despite supplementary intravenous analgesia and sedation, the patient was converted to general anesthesia. Recovery times and side-effects in the early postoperative period were recorded. RESULTS: The highest level of sensory block was above the T12 dermatome in all patients. Compared with the other groups, significantly more patients in Group L10F25 converted to general anesthesia. Group L10F25 had a significantly higher mean surgical pain score than the other groups. The mean tourniquet pain score was significantly higher in Group L20F25 than Group L10F25E15. Group L10F25E15 had a significantly shorter time to discharge than the other groups. Post-operative nausea and vomiting and drowsiness were more frequent in Group L10F25 than in the other groups. CONCLUSION: The combination of 10 mg lidocaine and 25 microg fentanyl plus 15 microg epinephrine provides adequate spinal anesthesia and has favorable recovery characteristics for outpatient knee arthroscopy. 相似文献

The purpose of this prospective, randomized, double-blind study was to compare the pain of injection, heart rate increase, and postinjection pain of the intraligamentary injection of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine and 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine administered with a computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system. Using a crossover design, intraligamentary injections of 1.4 mL of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine and 1.4 mL of 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine were randomly administered on the mesial and distal aspects of the mandibular first molar with a computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system in a double-blind manner at 2 separate appointments to 51 subjects. The results demonstrated the incidence of moderate pain was 14%-27% with needle insertion, with 0%-4% reporting severe pain. For solution deposition, moderate pain was reported 8%-18% of the time, with no reports of severe pain. There were no significant differences between the articaine and lidocaine solutions. Regarding heart rate changes, neither anesthetic solution resulted in a significant increase in heart rate over baseline readings. On day 1 postinjection, there was a 31% incidence of moderate/severe pain with the articaine solution and 20% incidence of moderate/severe pain with the lidocaine solution. The moderate/severe pain ratings decreased over the next 2 days. There were no significant differences between the articaine and lidocaine solutions. We concluded that the intraligamentary injection of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine was similar to 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine for injection pain and postinjection pain in the mandibular first molar when administered with a computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system. For both anesthetic solutions, heart rate did not significantly increase with the intraligamentary injection using the computer-controlled local anesthetic system. 相似文献

We evaluated the efficacy and safety of a single injection technique with a small volume of anesthetic for ocular peribulbar anesthesia. We included 857 patients undergoing various ophthalmic procedures. Anesthesia consisted of a medial percutaneous injection of 5-6.5 mL of 2% lidocaine. At 2 min 85.6% of the patients had a motor block of at least 50% and at 5 min 78.6% had a motor block >80%. After 5 min 100% of the patients had adequate surgical anesthesia. There were no serious block-related complications. The described technique is a simple and satisfactory alternative to the classical techniques. 相似文献

Pain in arthroscopic knee surgery under local anesthesia 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
BACKGROUND: We evaluated pain during arthroscopic knee surgery performed under local anesthesia, with respect to various types of lesions and specific procedures used. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Arthroscopic surgery was performed on 63 joints (61 patients), with a median age of 49 years. We asked the patients to describe the pain experienced at each step of the procedure, and to compare the level of pain experienced at the time of injection and during the operation, using a visual analog scale (VAS). RESULTS: Pain experienced at the time of injection of the local anesthetic was more severe than the pain experienced during the surgical procedure. Local anesthesia provided good pain control during partial resection of the meniscus, chondroplasty, and removal of free bodies. Patients sometimes experienced more pain during treatment of the suprapatellar pouch, including the plica and the anterior cruciate ligament. INTERPRETATION: Injection of the local anesthetic was usually the most painful phase of the entire procedure. Patients were generally satisfied with the pain control. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a combination of bupivacaine and lidocaine and that of lidocaine alone for local dental anesthesia. First, on different days, healthy volunteers were given 2% lidocaine with 1/80,000 epinephrine or 2% lidocaine with 1/80,000 epinephrine + 0.5% bupivacaine, after which pain was produced with a pulp tester. No difference was found in the time until onset of anesthetic effect between the preparations. However, the duration of anesthetic effect was longer with both lidocaine and bupivacaine than with lidocaine alone. Next, patients undergoing dental surgery were given one of the anesthetic preparations, after which serum concentrations of the anesthetics and epinephrine were measured. The maximal serum concentration of lidocaine was higher and was reached sooner after injection in patients receiving lidocaine alone (1.74 microgram/ml after 5 min) than in patients receiving both anesthetics (0.85 microgram/ml after 3 min). The mean maximal serum concentration of lidocaine was higher in patients receiving lidocaine alone (1.77 +/- 0.03 microgram/ml) than in those receiving both anesthetics (0.99 +/- 0.45 microgram/ml). Furthermore, the mean plasma concentration of epinephrine 1 min after injection was significantly higher in patients receiving lidocaine alone (0.671 ng/ml) than in patients receiving both lidocaine and bupivacaine (0.323 ng/ml). The results of this study suggest that the combination of lidocaine with epinephrine and bupivacaine produces lower systemic levels of the anesthetic and epinephrine and a longer duration of activity than lidocaine with epinephrine alone for local dental anesthesia. 相似文献

Development of the human anterior urethra 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To further our understanding of the development of the anterior urethra a series of 38 normal human fetuses ranging from the end of the embryonic period proper to the third trimester of gestation were studied. Tissues prepared as serial histological sections were examined and appropriate specimens were reconstructed. The formation of the bulbar and spongy urethra occurred by proliferation of mesenchyme underlying the epithelium of the urethral folds, causing the creation of a tubular urethra by epithelial fusion in the ventral midline. The tubular urethra becomes invested by mesenchyme, the future corpus spongiosum. This process of fusion of the urethral folds extends to the glans penis. At this period of development the glans contains the urethral plate, a lamina of epithelium lacking a lumen. The mechanism of the subsequent connection of the spongy urethra to the canalized urethral plate has been the point of controversy. Our observations support the idea that 3 processes must act in synchrony to produce successful completion of the anterior urethra: 1) the prepuce forms by overgrowing the glans due to proliferation of the penile skin and subcutaneous tissues, and in so doing it continues the progression of closure of the urethral folds into the glans and forms the frenulum by its fusion on the ventral aspect, 2) the mesenchyme surrounding the prolongation of the urethra fuses with the mesenchyme of the glans, which before this time had existed as a mesenchymal structure distinct from the corpus spongiosum or corpus cavernosum and 3) the epithelium of the urethral plate within the glans, which underlies the epithelial tag, becomes canalized and develops continuity with the lumen of the spongy urethra. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Delivery of local anesthesia for surgical office procedures for pediatric patients can be difficult. Injections are painful and often lead to patient anxiety, and topical anesthetics frequently provide incomplete anesthesia. The authors prospectively studied the efficacy of iontophoresis, a needle-free technique in which positively charged lidocaine and epinephrine molecules are drawn into the tissue by an electrical current as an anesthetic for pediatric surgical office procedures. METHODS: Children undergoing an office procedure were offered local anesthesia via iontophoresis. Prospectively collected data included patient characteristics, procedure, iontophoresis dose and time, need for additional injected anesthetic, pain during the procedure as determined by a 0 to 5 faces scale, and complications. A satisfaction questionnaire was completed at the follow-up visit or by telephone. RESULTS: Over an 8-month period, 34 patients with a mean age of 6.8 years (range, 3 months to 15 years) underwent 38 office procedures with anesthesia supplied through iontophoresis. Skin lesion excision (n = 14) and abscess drainage (n = 12) were the most common procedures. Seven patients required unplanned injected anesthetic. A small, superficial burn was the only complication. Sixty percent of patients and 84% of parents rated pain as 0 to 2 (zero to mild). Overall, 88% were satisfied with the anesthetic. CONCLUSION: Iontophoresis appears to be an effective and safe alternative method of local anesthesia delivery for pediatric surgical office procedures. 相似文献

BACKGROUND Minor surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia are the most common surgical procedures routinely carried out in every plastic surgical practice.
OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the prevalence of immediate local and systemic complications of such procedures.
METHODS AND MATERIALS Records of 2,600 procedures performed under local anesthesia on 2,431 patients between November 2001 and May 2004 were reviewed. Local anesthetic complications and all surgical-related complications were recorded.
RESULTS Procedure-related complications were 51 presyncope (1.9%), 4 true syncope (0.16%), 2 minor burns (0.08%), and 1 facial laceration (0.04%).
CONCLUSIONS True allergic reaction to lidocaine is extremely rare and none was noted in our study. Most patients who claimed that they had suffered from such a reaction were probably experiencing symptoms related to intravenous injection administration, a reaction to the added vasoconstrictor (adrenaline), or a vasovagal reaction, which is a common trait among young adults. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We compared the efficacy of a mixture of ropivacaine and lidocaine with a mixture of bupivacaine and lidocaine for providing peribulbar anesthesia for cataract surgery. We used the time to adequate block for surgery and ocular and eyelid movement scores as clinical end points. METHODS: Ninety patients were allocated randomly to receive 7-10 mL of an anesthetic mixture of equal parts 0.75% bupivacaine and 2% lidocaine or a mixture in which ropivacaine 1% was substituted for bupivacaine. Hyaluronidase 15 IU x mL(-1) was added to both solutions. RESULTS: The median time at which the block was adequate to start surgery was 8 minutes for each group. Median ocular movement scores were similar in both groups at all times. Ropivacaine produced decreased eyelid movement scores at 2 (P = .047), 6 (P = .038), and 8 minutes (P = .016). No differences were observed between the groups in the incidence of minor complications or of pain during insertion of the block. Seven patients in the ropivacaine group and 12 patients in the bupivacaine group required supplementary anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS: Ropivacaine 1% is an effective alternative to 0.75% bupivacaine for peribulbar anesthesia, when combined with lidocaine and hyaluronidase. 相似文献

In a randomized, double-blind study, 24 patients undergoing outpatient arthroscopic knee surgery were divided into two groups. Group 1 received 2% lidocaine hydrochloride; group 2 received pH-adjusted 1.73% lidocaine made by adding 1 ml of NaHCO3 44.6 meq/L to 10 ml of 2% lidocaine hydrochloride. Epidural anesthesia was administered in the sitting position. Group 1 consisted of 12 males; group 2 consisted of 6 males and 6 females (p less than 0.01). Statistical analysis using the unpaired Student's t-test and the Mann-Whitney test found no significant differences between the two groups regarding time of onset of analgesia, degree of spread of analgesia, time to maximum motor blockade, degree of motor blockade, length of surgical procedure, total anesthesia time, regression of anesthesia, dosage of lidocaine used, and serum lidocaine levels. Intraoperative conditions were satisfactory in all cases. Postoperatively, all patients reported having experienced a satisfactory anesthetic without any complications. The authors conclude that epidural anesthesia is a satisfactory technique for outpatient arthroscopic surgery. There appears to be no advantage to adding bicarbonate to lidocaine anesthetic solutions for use in epidural anesthesia. 相似文献

Local anesthesia is appropriate for eyelid surgery, but patients fear the pain of injections. We evaluated iontophoresis of lidocaine for eyelid skin anesthesia to pinprick pain sensation in normal subjects, and prior to regional infiltration of the anesthetic agent in patients undergoing eyelid surgery. After iontophoresis of lidocaine hydrochloride 4% solution to one randomly chosen eyelid, pinprick skin sensation was tested in a double-masked manner. Subjective pain scores of 10 subjects were significantly less (P less than .008) on the iontophoresis treated eyelids (0.25) than on the untreated eyelids (2.55). Nine patients undergoing bilateral upper eyelid surgery had iontophoresis applied to one randomly chosen eyelid prior to the usual anesthetic injections. In this double-masked evaluation, patients reported significantly less pain (P less than .02) on the treated eyelids (1.4) than on the untreated eyelids (4.7). We conclude that iontophoresis is effective for achieving short-term, superficial anesthesia of eyelid skin. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To compare the pain induced by outpatient flexible cystoscopy in men having local lidocaine jelly application or plain lubricant. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed a randomized, double-blind study to compare the anesthetic effect of intraurethral 2% lidocaine gel (N = 45) and plain lubricant (N = 46) in men undergoing outpatient flexible cystoscopy. The age, prostate size, and examination time were similar in the two groups. Before cystoscopy, we filled the urethra with 20 mL of gel, which was held for 15 minutes. A 15.5F flexible cystoscope was then used for examination. A 10-point visual analog pain scale (1 = least to 10 = most painful) and a four-point pain grade (grade 1 = least to grade 4 = most painful) were used to measure the pain perception. The amount of postoperative analgesic used and willingness to adopt the same anesthesia for future cystoscopy were also recorded. RESULTS: The mean pain scores for the lidocaine and plain gel groups were 2.8 +/- 1.1 and 2.5 +/- 1.1, respectively (P = 0.06), while the pain grades for the lidocaine gel and plain gel groups were 1.6 +/- 0.6 and 1.8 +/- 0.7, respectively (P = 0.19). In both groups, many patients (42.2% in the lidocaine gel group and 37% in the plain lubricant group) felt the external sphincter and prostatic urethra were the most uncomfortable areas during cystoscopy. Postcystoscopic analgesics were requested by 12 of 45 patients in the lidocaine group, but only 6 of 46 of the plain-gel group (P = 0.103). When patients were asked if they would desire general anesthesia for better pain control in future examinations, five of the lidocaine group responded positively, while three of the plain-gel group said they would (P = 0.62). The cost of lidocaine gel is about thrice that of the plain gel. CONCLUSION: Using plain lubricant is cheaper and faster than applying lidocaine gel. The pain score, pain grade, postcystoscopic analgesic requirement, and anesthetics requested for the next cystoscopy were similar in the two groups. However, a larger investigation will be needed to achieve more significant statistical power. 相似文献

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare operating conditions, intraoperative adverse events, recovery profiles, postoperative adverse effects, patient satisfaction, and costs of small-dose lidocaine spinal anesthesia with those of general anesthesia using fentanyl and propofol for elderly outpatient prostate biopsy. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, blind study. SETTING: Outpatient anesthesia unit at a municipal hospital. PATIENTS: 80 ASA physical status I and II patients, aged 65 to 80 years, scheduled for outpatient prostate biopsy. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were assigned to receive either spinal anesthesia with 10 mg of hyperbaric 1% lidocaine (L group, n=40) or anesthetic induction with fentanyl 1 microg.kg-1 IV and 1.0 mg.kg-1 propofol injected at 90 mg.kg-1.h-1, followed by continuous infusion at 6 mg.kg-1.h-1 (F/P group, n=40). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Both anesthetic techniques provided acceptable operating conditions for the surgeon. However, a significantly higher frequency of intraoperative hypotension was found in the F/P group than in the L group (P<0.05). Time to home readiness was shorter in the F/P group (P<0.05). Both techniques had no major postoperative adverse effects and resulted in a high rate of patient satisfaction. Total costs were significantly lower in the L group than in the F/P group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Spinal anesthesia with 10 mg of hyperbaric 1% lidocaine may be a more suitable alternative to general anesthesia with fentanyl and propofol for ambulatory elderly prostate biopsy in terms of safety and costs. 相似文献

One hundred forty-eight adult patients having epidural anesthesia for cesarean section, postpartum tubal ligation, lower extremity orthopedic procedures, or lithotriptic therapy were assigned to five groups. Group 1 patients were given a commercially prepared 1.5% lidocaine solution with 1:200,000 epinephrine plus 1 ml of normal saline per 10 ml of lidocaine; the solution pH was 4.6. Group 2 patients were given commercially prepared 1.5% lidocaine solution plus 1:200,000 epinephrine, with 1 mEq (1 ml) NaHCO3 per 10 ml of lidocaine; the solution pH was 7.15. Group 3 patients received the commercial solution of 1.5% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine; the solution pH was 4.55. Group 4 patients were given a mixture of 18 ml of 2% lidocaine with 30 ml of 1.5% lidocaine, both commercially packaged with 1:200,000 epinephrine, plus 1 mEq (1 ml) of NaHCO3 added per 10 ml of solution; the solution pH was 7.2. Group 5 patients received 1.5% plain lidocaine to which epinephrine was added to a final concentration of 1:200,000; the solution pH was 6.35. Times of onset of analgesia (time between the completion of the anesthetic injection and loss of scratch sensation at the right hip (L-2 dermatome] and of surgical anesthesia (time between completion of injection and loss of discomfort following tetanic stimulation produced by a nerve stimulator applied to skin on the right hip) were significantly more rapid in the groups that received the pH-adjusted solutions (groups 4 and 2). Group 4 had the fastest mean onset time, 1.92 +/- 0.17 min, followed by group 2, 3.31 +/- 0.23 min.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

BACKGROUND: A longer-acting local anesthetic agent, such as ropivacaine, may offer advantages over lidocaine for intravenous regional anesthesia. The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether the findings of volunteer investigations with intravenous regional anesthesia with ropivacaine (which have shown prolonged analgesia after release of the tourniquet) translates into improved pain control after surgery. METHODS: With Human Investigation Committee approval and a double-blind study design, 20 healthy patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II classification who were scheduled to undergo forearm and hand surgery were randomly assigned to administration of 40 ml of either 0.2% ropivacaine or 0.5% lidocaine for intravenous regional anesthesia. Evidence of central nervous system side effects, such as lightheadedness, tinnitus, and metallic taste, as well as cardiac arrhythmias, were evaluated and treated (if necessary) after local anesthetic administration, before and during surgery, and after release of the tourniquet until discharge from the postanesthesia care unit. Regression of sensory anesthesia in the nerve distributions of the forearm and hand was recorded. Verbal numerical pain scores were monitored and quantified until the patients were discharged to home from the postanesthesia care unit. Patient pain scores, side effect profiles, time to first oral intake, and total amount of oral analgesics were recorded 24 h postoperatively. RESULTS: Intravenous regional anesthesia with 0.2% ropivacaine and 0.5% lidocaine provided equivalent levels of surgical anesthesia. After release of the tourniquet, the first evidence for return of sensation in the distribution of the five peripheral nerves occurred later in the ropivacaine group (median, 20 min; range, 15-40 min) than in the lidocaine group (median, 1 min; range, 1-25 min). Verbal numerical pain scores were significantly lower at the time of admission, whereas during the remainder of the postanesthesia care unit stay and later at home, the difference in verbal numerical pain scores between the two groups was no longer statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Ropivacaine 0.2% may be an alternative to 0.5% lidocaine for intravenous regional anesthesia in the outpatient surgical setting. Longer-lasting analgesia in the immediate postoperative period may be due to a more profound and prolonged tissue binding effect of ropivacaine. 相似文献
