title: Bupivacaine kinetics in serum, cardiac and brain tissues: effect of diazepam pretreatment in mice.
abstract: This study was designed to document possible changes in bupivacaine kinetics in serum and in heart and brain tissues induced by a pretreatment with diazepam in mice. When diazepam is associated with bupivacaine, elimination of bupivacaine from serum and cardiac tissues is decreased; statistical differences were not found in brain tissues.
