Epinephrine local anesthesia
Common Questions and Answers about Epinephrine local anesthesia
epipen
In local anesthetics (like those used in dentistry), it's the epinephrine that's mixed in with the anesthetic that causes the problems for most patients with dysautonomia. There are local anesthetic formulations available without epinephrine, they just last for shorter periods of time and may require higher doses for efficacy.
Periodic administration of local anesthesia without epinephrine and /or systemic administration of gabapenti/amitriptline may solve your complaints. Seeing an Orofacial pain specialist is advised.
both WITHOUT EPINEPHRINE,YES,WITHOUT EPINEPHRINE and I made sure of that before the skin test.They had to discontinue the Lidocaine because of heart side effects.But they finished with the other one and they thought that everything was fine and sent me home..The next day,BOOM! they hit with a vengence..P.V.C.S over and over again lasting for 3 weeks or so until they finally tapered off.
my gums have been bleeding during the past 2 months but i had no pain. also fillings are allowed with local anesthesia not containing epinephrine. whitening is advised for post delivery.
Sometimes light sedation is also used with this method. Local (i.e., injection) anesthesia carries more risks than the eye drops, and you'll go home wearing an eye patch (and maybe a black eye.) General anesthesia involves the most risks. In my opinion, it's always a good idea to ask in advance what will be used.
Well, I just had to have a root canal done on Thursday. I did not want to do it without the epinephrine. The epi makes the anesthesia last longer, if you use the anesthesia without, it wears off in a very short time. I called my EP and he said it would be ok to take up to 10 mg of my beta blocker (I usually take 5) and to be sure I took it at least 2 hours before the procedure. So I did that, took an ativan and I was fine(except for having a root canal).
Dont worry it must have been a safe anestethic the doctors wouldnt put you or your baby at risk
However, they will have to run a few tests to check if local anesthesia is better or the general one. Iv been on claxean injections n asprin through out my pregnancy since my daughter was a really low birth weight. So wat do u think is better local or general?
Its usually ok to get dental work done while pregnant. Next time though, if you remember, ask them to use anesthesia that doesn't have any epinephrine in it. Epinephrine can cause your heart rate to increase. And of course nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is definitely off limits.
The dentist prescribed Halcyon (which I took 1 hour before the appointment) saying it will relax me and make numbing easier and the non-epinephrine local anesthetic last longer. He gave me 2 shots of local on each side.
Afterwards, I felt slight pain at one of the injection places, no pain anywhere else. The next day, my face was swollen, and I still had just the slight pain from one of the injections. The swelling was just of the skin of my face, not inside my mouth, not on my lips.
its totally safe to use anesthesia unless you have high blood pressure, which just means you don't use epinephrine with the shot; or only use a low dose of epi. Otherwise there isnt much reason to not get the anesthesia except preference.
The medicines given to you are the usual medicines given during local anesthesia administration. There is a possibility that you had a drug reaction.
You should tell the anesthesiologist the reaction you had during the administration of the anesthesia so that anesthesia induction can be delivered safely and uneventful. Perhaps a different kind of anesthesia can be given to you.
Take care.
Has anyone out there ever had to receive more then general and/or local anesthesia? I read that sometimes, so the patient does not cough or move during surgery, there will be a tube put down their thoat to be put on a breathing machine. This scares me - if anyone has had this done or know why its necessary or the pros & cons, please reply.
Can strabismus surgery be done using local anesthesia and what are the advantages or disadvantages if any?
It is going to be a local anesthetic with the surgery being at 1pm. The doctor told me that the procedure lasts and about an hour. My question is can I drink alcohol that night, say around 8pm. What side effects will happen with just a local anesthetic.
Thanks.
Before the era of chemical anesthetics, hypnosis was delivered to render surgical treatment by some surgeons. In today's practice, chemical anesthesia is so effective that hypnosis is rarely used. The descriptions that none of the available anesthetic solution can achieve adequate anesthesia is extremely rare. If injection technique is employed properly, anesthesia is almost always achieved.
The risk of serious problems including death and the expense involved are always higher with general anesthesia than local. Moreover patients done under general often still have double vision. My 6 research papers have highlighted that it's important that hyaluronidase be added to the local anesthesia to reduce risk of double vision and muscle damage.
The big tell though would be low sodium. You may have had a reaction to the anesthesia or to something used to clear your sinuses, like epinephrine during surgery? I would find out what you were given during surgery.
There is no reason for a person with MS to avoid local anesthesia when needed, unless the person happens to be allergic to the commonly used local anesthetics, such as Novocaine. One study reviewed 98 patients who together had received more than 1,000 doses of local anesthetics. In only four instances was the dose followed by an exacerbation—a sudden worsening of an MS symptom or symptoms. An exacerbation is also known as a relapse, attack, or flare."
