摘要
Local anesthetics are widely used by various medical professionals. Although their usefulness is unquestionable, as with any medication, there is a possibility of iatrogenic effects. When local anesthetic systemic toxicity occurs, it might be a life-threatening condition. Knowing its existence and how to act when it arises is crucial. The clinical presentation is wide-ranging, but globally it affects the neurological and cardiovascular system, with cardiac arrest being the extreme of its presentation. The treatment is mainly supportive with an attempt to reverse the effects of the anesthetic by administering a lipid emulsion. Here, we present a clinical case of difficult management with many complications.
