[Concentrations of local anaesthetics and vasoconstrictor drugs (author's transl)]. 1979

G Benad

By checking the list of local anaesthetics produced in the GDR containing vasoconstrictor drugs it could be proved that there exist disproportions concerning maximum concentrations and maximum doses of the local anaesthetic on the one hand and epinephrine as well as norepinnephrine concentration on the other. This dangerous situation could be changed on initiative of the Society of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation of the GDR.

D000779	Anesthetics, Local	Drugs that block nerve conduction when applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentrations. They act on any part of the nervous system and on every type of nerve fiber. In contact with a nerve trunk, these anesthetics can cause both sensory and motor paralysis in the innervated area. Their action is completely reversible. (From Gilman AG, et. al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed) Nearly all local anesthetics act by reducing the tendency of voltage-dependent sodium channels to activate.
