摘要
Study objective: To determine whether buffered lidocaine must be prepared just before use. Design: Randomized, double-blind, prospective trial. Setting: University hospital. Participants: Twenty-four adult volunteers. Interventions: Three buffered lidocaine solutions prepared seven days, one day, and just before use were compared with a control solution. Subjects received 0.5 mL intradermal injections of each solution. Pain of infiltration and extent and duration of anesthesia were measured. Measurements and main results: Pain of infiltration was less with all buffered solutions than control (P < .0001). Mean maximum diameter of anesthesia ranged from 29 to 33 mm for the buffered solutions compared with 31 mm for control. Mean duration of anesthesia was 33 minutes for control and 30 minutes for all of the buffered solutions. There was no statistically significant difference in extent or duration of anesthesia for any of the solutions (P > .5, beta = .15 for delta = 10%). Conclusion: Buffered lidocaine stays effective for up to one week after preparation. It is therefore convenient to use in emergency settings.
