Use of a topical mix of lidocaine and prilocaine during split-thickness skin graft harvest improves postoperative recovery-A prospective randomized controlled trial.
To provide evidence of efficacy and postoperative benefit of topical anesthesia (TA) for harvesting split-thickness skin graft (STSG) in an Asian population.. Patients with well-granulating wounds with skin grafting were randomized into TA or general anesthesia (GA) groups. In the TA group, an eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine (EMLA) was applied. Perioperative heart rate, postoperative donor site pain, adverse effects, patients' satisfaction, duration of surgery, and operation room (OR) stay duration were recorded.. Thirty-nine patients (19 males, 20 females; mean age 54.9 ± 17.8) were included. Twenty underwent TA and 19 underwent GA for STSG. The TA group patients had tolerable pain during skin graft harvesting (VAS, 0.85 ± 1.5). Average EMLA exposure duration was 180.3 ± 65.8 min, and the amount applied was 1.72 ± 0.43 g/10 cm. Harvesting STSG under TA with EMLA is an effective and efficient approach for most Asian patients with less early postoperative donor site pain and fewer adverse effects.

Digital image analysis of erythema development after experimental thermal injury to human skin: effect of postburn topical local anesthetics (EMLA).
Local anesthetics inhibit edema and improve circulation in experimental burns. We evaluated the effect of topical local anesthetics on human skin burns in volunteers using computerized color analysis that allowed repeated noninvasive quantitative measurements. A standardized partial-thickness burn (1 cm2) was induced in one forearm of 10 healthy volunteers and in the opposite forearm a week later. The burned areas were treated with lidocaine/prilocaine cream (EMLA; Astra, Sweden) or a placebo cream for 1 h. The experimental skin area was photographed before and 1, 2, 4, and 12 h postburn. Digitized images were evaluated using normalized red-green-blue and Hue-Saturation-Intensity. Differences in erythema between skin treated with EMLA and placebo were not significant during the first 4 h postburn. However, 12 h postburn, a pronounced decrease in the degree of erythema was observed in EMLA-treated skin compared with placebo-treated skin. We conclude that topical local anesthetics administered for 1 h postburn significantly reduces the duration of erythema after a mild thermal injury, which suggests a potential use in clinical practice in the treatment of minor skin burns.. Burn injury constitutes a serious type of tissue damage that activates inflammatory mechanisms, often causing pain, disfiguration, or malfunction. We treated burns using an anesthetic cream and demonstrated a reduction in burn-induced inflammation by using computer-based color image analysis.

Analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of lignocaine-prilocaine (EMLA) cream in human burn injury.
Pain relief may be improved by reducing sensitization of nociceptive pathways caused by tissue injury. Such a reduction depends mainly on inhibition of local inflammatory changes and the relation between duration of nociceptive block and nociceptive input. In this study we examined if prolonged topical treatment with local anaesthetics could reduce late hyperalgesia and local inflammation after burn injury in healthy volunteers. The effects of EMLA treatment for 8 h after burn on hyperalgesia, inflammation and wound healing were compared with the contralateral placebo-treated leg for 48 h after bilateral burn injuries (15 x 25 mm, 49 degrees C for 5 min) in a double-blind, randomized study in 12 healthy volunteers. Wound healing was studied 1 and 2 weeks after injury. Neither mechanical nor thermal primary hyperalgesia were affected significantly by prolonged EMLA treatment. Secondary hyperalgesia and skin erythema were also not changed. Seven of 12 placebo-treated legs developed blisters, in contrast with four of 12 EMLA-treated legs. Wound healing showed no apparent differences. Our data suggest that prolonged, topical treatment with local anaesthetics did not reduce local inflammation and late hyperalgesia.

[Methemoglobin intoxication by prilocaine in EMLA. Accidental intoxication of an infant with scald injuries].
The case of an infant who had received EMLA(R) for local pain therapy after scalding to 5% of the body surface with boiling water is reported. Due to the application of EMLA(R) on the injured skin and exceeding the recommended doses of prilocaine and lidocaine the child developed symptomatic methemoglobinemia. During surgical wound dressing the boy showed cyanosis, decreased peripheral oxygen saturation and potentially suffered a general seizure. With a symptomatic therapy including mechanical ventilation and anticonvulsive drugs the methemoglobinemia normalized within 9 h. The child recovered without any neurological impairment after wound treatment was completed.

Influence of local anaesthetics on inflammatory activity postburn.
Most studies investigating the pathophysiological processes taking place inside an experimental burn wound use in vitro techniques, which only allow for fragmented measurements of the actual and complex processes occurring inside a burn wound in vivo. In the present study, which used a recently developed in vivo technique in the rat, a full-thickness burn was induced and resulted in the formation of a subcutaneous gelatinous edema with distinct borders to the surrounding connective tissue and free communication with the systemic circulation allowing it to be easily separated for further analysis. In the present study, we investigated the effects of topical local anaesthetics (EMLA) on the inflammatory cascade of a burn wound in vivo. Results showed significantly higher myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels in EMLA-treated burned animals (P<0.01) versus placebo-treated burned controls. EMLA treatment induced a significant inhibition of the synthesis of leukotrien B(4) (LTB(4)) (P<0.001), prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) (P<0.001), prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) (P<0.001) and thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)) (P<0.001) versus control, while free radical formation did not differ significantly between EMLA-treated and control animals. In conclusion, topical local anaesthetics significantly inhibit the release of several mediators known to take important part in the pathophysiological events ensuing a burn injury, such as activation of pain mechanisms (PGE), oedema formation (LTB), and postburn ischemia (TXB). The increased numbers of leukocytes (MPO) in the burn wound induced by topical local anaesthetic treatment could suggest increased influx and/or increased viability of leukocytes postburn.

Effects of amide local anaesthetics on eicosanoid formation in burned skin.
Previous studies have demonstrated potent inhibition of burn oedema and progressive ischaemia by local anaesthetics. Since eicosanoids have been suggested to play an important role in the pathophysiology of burns, we compared in the present ex vivo study the effects of topical lidocaine/prilocaine cream (EMLA, ASTRA, Sweden) and intravenous lidocaine with that of saline on eicosanoid formation by normal and burned rat skin.. A full-thickness burn trauma was induced in the abdominal skin. All the agents were given 5 min postburn until 2 h after the trauma. The experimental skin was subsequently removed and incubated in Krebs solution for 1 h. Eicosanoid concentrations in the solution were analysed by radioimmunoassay.. EMLA cream induced a significant inhibition of TXB2 (P<0.05) and 6-Keto-PGF1alpha (P<0.01) but not of PGE release from burned skin as compared to saline treatment. Intravenous lidocaine infusions did not significantly influence the release of any of the measured eicosanoids versus saline.. In conclusion, the lack of effect of intravenous lidocaine could relate to the severe burn trauma inducing rapid ischaemia which may have interfered with the delivery of the agent to the burned tissues or to insufficient concentrations achieved in the burn area. Topical treatment of burned skin with a local anaesthetic cream significantly reduced the release of TXB2 and 6-Keto-PGF1alpha, suggesting a possible mechanism of action in progressive burn ischaemia.

Skin grafting of full thickness burns under local anaesthesia with EMLA cream.
Two elderly patients with 6 and 4 per cent total body surface area (TBSA) full thickness burns were entirely skin grafted solely under topical anaesthesia with EMLA cream. Both patients had several concurrent illnesses. The risk of general or regional anaesthesia for their general condition was much greater than the risk of unhealed burn wounds which substantially impaired the patients' quality of life. The surgical procedures were painless to both patients. The taking of the skin grafts and the healing of the donor sites were uneventful. It seems that the late skin grafting of full thickness burns up to 10 per cent TBSA may be accomplished solely under the topical anaesthesia with EMLA cream and thus avoiding the general or spinal anaesthesia in a high risk group of thermally injured patients.

Topical local anaesthetics (EMLA) inhibit burn-induced plasma extravasation as measured by digital image colour analysis.
Amide local anaesthetics have previously been shown to reduce oedema and improve dermal perfusion following experimental burns. Previous studies have used invasive techniques for burn oedema quantification which do not allow continuous monitoring in the same animal. The present study used digital image colour analysis to investigate the effect of topical local anaesthetics on burn-induced extravasation of Evans blue albumin. A standardised full-thickness burn injury (1 x 1 cm) was induced in the abdominal skin of anaesthetised rats. The burn area was subsequently covered with 0.5 g of lidocaine-prilocaine cream 5% (25 mg of each in 1 g; EMLA, ASTRA, Sweden) or placebo cream during the first hour post-burn. One hour after the burn trauma, animals received Evans blue dye intravenously. Skin colour appearances were recorded by macrophotography before the burn and 5, 60. 65, 90, 120, 150, and 180 min post-burn. Colour slides were digitised and colour changes were analysed using the normalised red-green-blue (n-rgb) colour system. Results showed a significant inhibition of Evans blue extravasation between 60 and 180 min post-burn in EMLA-treated animals versus controls. Topical local anaesthetics are potent inhibitors of burn-induced plasma albumin extravasation, probably by direct action on vascular permeability and by inhibition of various steps of the pathophysiological response after burn injury.
