Comparison of room temperature and body temperature local anaesthetic solutions

L C Bainbridge. Br J Plast Surg. 1991 Feb-Mar.

Abstract

The injection of local anaesthetic solutions is painful. We report the results of a blinded randomised controlled trial comparing the pain of injection of local anaesthetics at room temperature and body temperature. The results show that local anaesthetic solution injected at body temperature produces significantly less pain than local anaesthetic injected at room temperature.
