Why the study?
Does the addition of vasoconstrictors to mepivacaine reduce the frequency of systemic reactions in regional anaesthesia?
Does the addition of vasoconstrictors to mepivacaine reduce the frequency of systemic reactions in regional anaesthesia?
The addition of vasoconstrictors to mepivacaine for regional anaesthesia does not decrease the rate of systemic reactions and may cause specific cardiovascular effects such as tachycardia or blood pressure elevation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Does not support adding vasoconstrictors to mepivacaine to reduce systemic reactions; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
