FAQs – Local Anesthesia Category

What is the difference between topical and injectable anesthetics?

Topical anesthetics are applied to the surface to numb superficial tissues, while injectable anesthetics are used to achieve deeper anesthesia by blocking nerve conduction.

How long does lignocaine take to work?

Lignocaine typically begins to act within 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the route and site of administration.

Are cartridges better than vials?

Cartridges offer convenience, dosage consistency, and improved infection control. Vials may be more economical for multi-patient usage in high-volume setups.

Is it safe to use lignocaine with adrenaline in cardiac patients?

Use of vasoconstrictor-containing anesthetics should be limited or avoided in patients with known cardiovascular risks. Always consult the patient’s medical history.
