All
Summary
Lidocaine has been used along with adrenaline in tumescent anesthesia for a variety of procedures. This has been quite popular especially in wide awake surgery of the hand with no tourniquet. However, the appropriate lidocaine concentration is yet to be established. This randomized control trial will study the minimum effective lidocaine concentration in hand surgery using the tumescent technique.
