Local anaesthesia involves numbing an area of the body using a type of medication called a local anaesthetic. These medications can be used to treat painful conditions prevent pain during a procedure or operation or relieve pain after surgery. Unlike general anaesthetics local anaesthetics don t cause you to lose consciousness.
Purpose of review Local anesthetics are used in a wide range of clinical situations to prevent acute pain and to stop or ameliorate pain produced by cancer or pain associated with chronic painful conditions. Knowledge of the pharmacology of local anesthetics is essential for their safe use and selection of specific agents to achieve intended goals.
Local anesthetics function by altering the resting potential of the nerve altering the threshold potential at which the nerve will fire decreasing the rate of depolarization and prolonging the repolarization phase. Local anesthetics bind to receptors on the sodium channel displacing calcium.
Local anesthetics prevent the transmission of nerve impulses from nociceptive afferents thereby reducing the perception of pain. According to their chemical structure they are classed as amide or ester local anesthetics. Their use in plastic and reconstructive surgery is widespread.
