Commercially available electrotransport systems are bulky and limited to acute appHcations (96). One example, the Drionic system used for the treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive perspiration), is presoaked in water for 30 min before each 20- to 30-min treatment. Another system, the Phoresor, approved for the deHvery of Hdocaine [137-58-6] for local anesthesia, and of dexamethasone [50-02-2] for treatment of local inflammation such as bursitis or tendinitis, is powered by a 9 V replaceable battery and features a disposable, fiHable dmg electrode. 

May be introduced directly into a particular segment of the bronchopulmonary tree by inserting (under local anesthesia and direct vision) a plastic catheter into the trachea. Instill 2 to 5 mL of the 20% solution by a syringe connected to the catheter. 

The technique typically involves the use of intravenous midazolam for premedication (to provide anxiolysis, amnesia, and mild sedation) followed by a titrated, variable-rate propofol infusion (to provide moderate to deep levels of sedation), and a potent opioid analgesic or ketamine (to minimize the discomfort associated with the injection of local anesthesia and the surgical manipulations). 

The Duros implant requires implantation. To date, clinical trials have examined only one implant site, the mesial surface of the upper arm, - 10 cm above the antecubital crease. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia and requires less than 10 min tocarry out. The polished titanium surface minimizes any adhesions, permitting rapid explant and reimplant (at the same site) once the device is nearly expended. 

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of AAAs, results in a quick recovery, can be done under local anesthesia and has fewer systemic complications than open surgical repair. The goal of this chapter is to describe patient and aneurysm... 

The procedures may be performed under local anesthesia and mild sedation or general anesthesia with heparin anticoagulation. Aspirin (160mg, p.o.) and a loading dose of clopidogrel (300 mg, p.o.) are administered 24 hours before intervention for the aortic valve. Antibiotics (e.g., first generation cephalosporin, i.v.) are given before the procedure and continued for 48 hours, After the procedure aspirin is continued for three to six months,... 

Precautions must be taken so that lidocaine hydriKhloridc solutions containing epinephrine salts are not used as cardiac depressants. Such solutions are intended only for local anesthesia and are not u.sed intravenously. The aqueous. solutions without epinephrine may be autoclaved several timc.s. if necessary. 

Lidocaine is used for local anesthesia and in the management of ventricular arrhythmias. 

Even at that point it wasn t easy to put the now terrified dog to sleep. He fought even the local anesthesia and caused Jack to curse as he was forced to give Smokey more of the drug than should have been necessary for such a small beast. After what seemed an eternity, Smokey lay prone on the table, breathing deeply and emitting soft snores and gentle whines. We...

Unilateral femoral vein puncture is performed under local anesthesia and a 7- or 8-F introducer sheath is placed. Mild sedation is usually used. Prophylactic antibiotics are given at the beginning of the procedure. Intravenous heparin (5000 lU) is given... 

Local anesthetics are able to depress or block nerve conduction at low dosage Davis has demonstrated a relationship between antiarrhythmic potency, local anesthesia and neuromuscular transmission . The actions of antiarrhythmic agents to slow conduction can be explained by their depression of neuromuscular transmission. Slowed conduction can be explained through a retardation of the nerve impulse propagation, by increasing the electrical excitation threshold and reducing the rate of rise of the action potential . ... 

Curettage/Excision/Shave biopsy These techniques are of value in determining the exact histology of proliferative or atypical AKs unresponsive to other therapies, and where invasive SCC is suspected. However, these treatments require local anesthesia, and may result in epidermal changes and scarring. 

Biopsies were performed without local anesthesia, and were fixed in Bouin s liquid (mixture of an acqueous solution of picric acid, formaldehyde and acetic acid) or in formol (to show eosinophilic leucocytes), then immersed in paraffin and finaly sliced and stained with hematoxylin and eosin according to routine methods. 

The procedure is generally straightforward and may be performed under local anesthesia and sedation, or under general anesthesia. Stent insertion is best per-... 

Breast pathology has a profound symbolic meaning for every woman. Fear of breast cancer and its consequences, regularly fed by the media, induces a particularly critical emotional context within the framework of the interventional procedures available to the breast specialist. Local anesthesia and premedication sedation are sometimes necessary, but usually it is the patient s psychological state that will determine the degree of tolerance of the examination.

The entire LITT treatment is performed using local anesthesia and intravenously injected analgesics [Pethidin 10-80 mg (Dolantin, Aventis Pharma, Frankfurt, Germany) and/or Piritramid 5-15 mg (Dipidolor, Janssen-CILAG, Neuss, Germany)] and sedation (2-10 mg midazolam, Hoffmann-La Roche, Grenzach-Wyhlen, Germany). 

All treatments could be performed under local anesthesia and were well tolerated by the patients. All patients treated between June 1993 and September 1998 were hospitalized for 24-48 h after the intervention. All patients treated between October 1998 and May 2005 were strictly treated on an outpatient basis. 

The procedure can be performed under CT or MRI guidance. Only local anesthesia and intravenous sedation are usually sufficient. For analgesia and sedation, piritramid (Dipidolor, Janssen Cilaq, Ger-... 

Local anesthesia and regional blocks, commonly used in vascular access surgery, may affect vein diameter and fistula blood flow rates, which are important predictors of fistula failure. Regional block anesthesia (brachial plexus block) is associated with vasodilation in both the cephalic and basilic veins and with increased fistula blood flow. 

The open technique is particularly useful for patients who cannot tolerate general anesthetic because local anesthesia and sedation are typically adequate.
