A comparison of etidocaine and lidocaine in epidural analgesia for surgery. 1977

A Raksamani, and G Edelist

Etidocaine 1 per cent has been compared with lidocaine 2 per cent for epidural anaesthesia for surgery. Etidocaine produced a block which was characteristically longer, with a more profound motor component than lidocaine. The quality of anaesthesia was not as satisfactory with etidocaine and the danger of inadvertent intravenous injection was underlined.
