Circulatory effects of vasoconstrictors combined with local anesthetics

J Jage. Anesth Pain Control Dent. 1993 Spring.

Abstract

Vasoconstrictors are clinically used as adjuvants to local anesthetics to improve anesthetic action and to minimize local bleeding. Accidental intravascular injection or rapid systemic absorption of vasoconstrictors can induce a number of potentially life-threatening circulatory risks, which are described in this paper.
