Intravenous lidocaine: an adjunct for nitrous oxide thiopental anesthesia

J F Sorrell. AANA J. 1980 Oct.

Abstract

Although lidocaine is commonly accepted as an anti-arrhythmic drug, it can also be used intravenously as an anesthetic agent. The author focuses on how lidocaine can be used as an integral part of the anesthetic itself for patients with cardiac arrhythmias, particularly premature ventricular contractions.
