Paracervical block with etidocaine for out-patient abortion

G Willdeck-Lund et al. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand Suppl. 1975.

Abstract

Paracervical block using etidocaine 0.5 % and 1.0 % without adrenaline proved to be an effective anaesthetic procedure for first trimester abortion performed by surgical dilatation of the cervix and subsequent vacuum suction. Three blocks out of 24 were inadequate, probably due to inaccurate deposition of the local anaesthetic. There were two adverse reactions, possibly as a result of inadvertant intravascular injection. The need for long-acting agents for the present indication is questioned.
