Department of Anaesthesia, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke, Québec.

Axillary block was performed on 60 patients undergoing various types of surgical procedures on the upper limb. The patients were divided randomly into three equal groups of 20 and received lidocaine hydrocarbonate 1% or lidocaine hydrochloride 1% or mepivacaine 1%, each solution containing epinephrine 1/400,000. A double-blind design was used. Lidocaine hydrocarbonate and lidocaine hydrochloride were both found to have a shorter latency of analgesia than mepivacaine. Duration of analgesia, quality of the sensory and motor block were not found to be statistically different between the three groups.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008012 Lidocaine A local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmia agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE.

D008619 Mepivacaine A local anesthetic that is chemically related to BUPIVACAINE but pharmacologically related to LIDOCAINE. It is indicated for infiltration, nerve block, and epidural anesthesia. Mepivacaine is effective topically only in large doses and therefore should not be used by this route.
