Analysis of local anaesthetics

  • Chapter

Abstract

Modern regional anaesthesia is practised with a relatively small armamentarium of agents. These can be divided into esters of the procaine type and amides of the lignocaine type; their chemical structures are shown in Table 7.1. Of the compounds. listed, bupivacaine and lignocaine are currently the most widely used in anaesthetic practice. The former is especially popular for providing epidural analgesia during labour and vaginal delivery, owing to its relatively long duration of action and an ability to produce a marked differential blockade favouring sensory rather than motor loss. Etidocaine is a new, long-acting analogue but a tendency to produce a differential motor block largely confines its use to surgical anaesthesia. Prilocaine has fallen out of favour for epidural anaesthesia because of methaemoglobinaemia associated with high doses, although a relatively low propensity for central-nervous-system toxicity commends it for peripheral nerve blocks and intravenous regional anaesthesia. Like lignocaine it is widely used in dentistry.
