local anaesthetic drug

Spinal anaesthesia is a technique whereby a local anaesthetic drug is injected into the cerebrospinal fluid.

In addition to blocking the nerves which carry pain, local anaesthetic drugs in the epidural space will block other types of nerves as well, in a dose-dependent manner.

Weinberg et al. have published data indicating Intralipid is effective in treating experimental models of severe cardiotoxicity secondary to intravenous overdose of local anaesthetic drugs such as bupivacaine.
