	Physiologic Stress Reduction by a Local Anesthetic During Newborn Circumcision
		All injections of the anesthetic and all circumcisions were performed by the principal investigator in an identical manner.
		Inasmuch as the difference between the anesthetized group and the control group for the 30-second interval during the injection was significant only in crying and did not extend beyond the immediate event, pain caused by the injection is not sufficient to condemn its use.
		Whenever the use of a local anesthetic is as simple as infiltrating lidocaine subcutaneously, adds little time or risk to the primary procedure, and is not otherwise contraindicated, it should be considered for its effectiveness in reducing the physiologic pain-stress response of newborns.

	Local anesthesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Local anesthesia, in a strict sense, is anesthesia of a small part of the body such as a tooth or an area of skin.
		To achieve conduction anesthesia a local anesthetic is injected or applied to a body surface.
		Sometimes a vasoconstrictor drug is added to decrease local blood flow, thereby slowing the transport of the local anesthetic away from the site of injection.

	Local anesthetics
		Faced with the legal and ethical difficulties associated with the use of cocaine as a local anesthetic, and with the inefficiencies and allergenicity associated with the use of procaine, it is not surprising that most dentists of the day worked without any local anesthetic at all.
		The incidence of toxicity to local anesthetics in the dental setting is extremely rare and generally revolve around very unusual patient centered physiologic abnormalities rather than poor anesthetic technique on the part of the dentist.
		Even though anaphalaxis is quite rare with amine based local anesthetics, it is still possible, and both the dentist and patient must acknowledge and be prepared to deal with the consequences.

		The augmenting agent may be incorporated with the local anesthetic in controlled release form, or alternatively, at least part of the dose of the augmenting agent may be administered separately but in proximity to the same location as the local anesthetic.
		In further embodiments, the invention is directed to a suspension comprising a plurality of biocompatible, biodegradable controlled release microspheres comprising a local anesthetic agent, together with all augmenting agent which is incorporated in the controlled release microspheres, or dissolved or suspended in the suspension of microspheres.

	Continuous Local Anesthetic Infiltration
		There is some evidence to suggest the anesthetic effect may be extended for several hours with the addition of intra-articular morphine at the time of the local anesthetic infiltration.
		Continuous administration of local anesthetic for 48 hours or more can be achieved with disposable infusion pumps that use balloon pressure to force local anesthetics such as bupivacaine at a constant rate through a 20-gauge catheter into the operative site.
		A primary consideration for the use of bolus and continuous infusion of a local anesthetic is to minimize the risk of toxic side effects of the anesthetic agent.

	Allergic to Local Anesthetic?
		However, if you're one of the few people in the world who've had an anaphylactic shock to injected local anaesthetics in the past, it may be necessary to do dental procedures under general anaesthesia (which doesn't require local).
		Epinephrine is not a stable substance and when it is packaged in the local anesthetic it has some preservatives (methylparaben and metabisulfite) put in to it as well.
		However, epi is put in there for a reason (it improves the depth and duration of the anesthetic), so if you reckon you can address the anxiety in some other way, it might be an idea to try that first.
