Local anesthetic agents.
The rational selection and safe use of local anesthetic solutions is of paramount importance to the practice of emergency medicine. Such decisions are based on a sound knowledge of the pharmacology and toxicity of those agents one uses clinically in day to day practice. In addition, such information explains what one actually sees clinically following the injection of a local anesthetic solution, and, more importantly, what one ought to expect.
