E G Whealton. J Am Board Fam Pract. 1998 May-Jun.

Abstract

Background: Recent developments in anesthesia applicable to family practice settings are reviewed.

Methods: MEDLINE was searched using the key words "EMLA"; "iontophoresis"; "lidocaine," "tetracaine, adrenaline, cocaine"; and "lidocaine, epinephrine, tetracaine."

Results and conclusions: Clinical experience has shown that there is a definite and evolving role for the newer methods of office anesthesia. Patient care can be improved by reducing the discomfort of patient procedures.
