benzocaine and Drug Overdose

benzocaine has been researched along with Drug Overdose in 2 studies

Benzocaine: A surface anesthetic that acts by preventing transmission of impulses along NERVE FIBERS and at NERVE ENDINGS.
dextran sulfate sodium : An organic sodium salt of dextran sulfate. It induces colitis in mice.
benzocaine : A benzoate ester having 4-aminobenzoic acid as the acid component and ethanol as the alcohol component. A surface anaesthetic, it is used to suppress the gag reflex, and as a lubricant and topical anaesthetic on the larynx, mouth, nasal cavity, respiratory tract, oesophagus, rectum, urinary tract, and vagina.

Drug Overdose: Accidental or deliberate use of a medication or street drug in excess of normal dosage.

Trial Outcomes

Delta Methemoglobin Blood Level

Change in percentage of methemoglobin in blood from baseline level to peak level (NCT01402869)
Timeframe: From administration of local anesthetic or start of restorative procedures to time at which maximum methemoglobin blood level was documented during dental treatment for an average of 2 hours

Interventionpercentage of methemoglobin in blood (Mean)
Prilocaine2.73
Lidocaine0.78
No Local Anesthetic0.76

Peak Methemoglobin Blood Levels

The maximum percentage of methemoglobin in blood (NCT01402869)
Timeframe: Measured at 10 second intervals during dental treatment for an average of 2 hours

Interventionpercentage of methemoglobin in blood (Mean)
Prilocaine3.55
Lidocaine1.63
No Local Anesthetic1.60

Time to Peak Methemoglobin Blood Levels

The length of time between the administration of local anesthetic (Prilocaine and Lidocaine Groups) or start of restorative dental procedures (No local anesthetic Group) and the time at which the maximum methemoglobin blood level is observed. (NCT01402869)
Timeframe: Measured at 10 second intervals during dental treatment for an average of 2 hours

Interventionminutes (Mean)
Prilocaine62.73
Lidocaine57.50
