mepivacaine and Dysesthesia

mepivacaine has been researched along with Dysesthesia in 11 studies

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. (From AMA Drug Evaluations, 1994, p168)
mepivacaine : A piperidinecarboxamide in which N-methylpipecolic acid and 2,6-dimethylaniline have combined to form the amide bond. It is used as a local amide-type anaesthetic.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Cold saline-induced paresthesiae in the hand or forearm were obtained in 19 patients (95%) during one of four attempts allowed, and in 15 patients (75%) on the first attempt."2.68Axillary brachial plexus anesthesia: electrical versus cold saline stimulation. ( Alvarez, J; Bárcena, M; Rodríguez, J, 1996)
"The success rate was higher with the paresthesia technique than with nerve stimulator technique or transarterial injection, and with use of mepivacaine versus bupivacaine."1.30The risk of persistent paresthesia is not increased with repeated axillary block. ( Bishop, AT; Horlocker, TT; Kufner, RP; Maxson, PM; Schroeder, DR, 1999)
"We recommend that paresthesias to the shoulder be accepted in performing interscalene blocks for patients undergoing shoulder surgery."1.28Interscalene brachial plexus block for shoulder surgery: a proximal paresthesia is effective. ( Neudachin, L; Roch, JJ; Sharrock, NE, 1992)
"The location of the elicited paresthesia prior to deposition of 30 ml of a solution containing 1% mepivacaine, 0."1.28Subclavian perivascular block: influence of location of paresthesia. ( Garland, TA; Hickey, R; Ramamurthy, S, 1989)
