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.
