title: Dynamics of local-anesthetic compounds in regional anesthesia.
abstract: The clinical effectiveness and safety of compounded mixtures of lidocaine + bupivacaine and chloroprocaine + bupivacaine for either epidural or brachial-plexus block was studied in 48 adult patients. Of the several alternatives, chloroprocaine + bupivacaine with epinephrine was found the best choice for patients with typical plasma cholinesterase.
