XYLOCAINE: A NEW LOCAL ANESTHETIC AGENT
Abstract
Xylocaine, a new and synthetic local anesthetic agent, is presented and compared to the existing local anesthetic agents.A comparison is made with four other commonly used agents (by use of skin wheals) to determine ratios of toxicity.Its use as the sole anesthetic agent for thorocoplasties, resections, and so on, is discussed and its superiority pointed out. The rapid onset of action and the profoundness of the anesthesia have been constant and obviously superior to other agents used.The many advantages offered by xylocaine are listed and are certainly desirable enough to be of interest to all clinicians using local anesthetic agents.This content is limited to qualifying members.
