The duration of action of bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, ropivacaine and pethidine in peripheral nerve block in the rat.
There is a current interest in local anaesthetic drugs/formulations exhibiting long durations of sensory block and minor motor-blocking effects. ⋯ Equimolar doses of the investigated local anaesthetics exerted similar durations of sensory blockade in a peripheral nerve block model in the rat.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison between single injection transthecal and subcutaneous digital blocks.
A randomized double blinded study was performed on 142 patients to evaluate two different techniques of single injection digital anaesthesia. In group A, 86 digits in 71 patients were anaesthetized by a single injection transthecal technique using 3 cc of lignocaine and bupivacaine mixture. ⋯ Total anaesthesia of the digit was achieved in 75 (94%) digits. These two techniques were found to have no differences in effectiveness, distribution, onset and duration of anaesthesia.

Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial[Infra-orbital nerve block in early primary cheiloplasty].
A prospective study have studied the effect of infraorbital block during anesthesia in infants with a cleft lip. The study was conducted during the year 1994, in the hospital Necker Enfants-malades. During this period 51 cleft lip surgery were performed. Anesthesia for infants with cleft lip using bilateral infraorbital block is a safe, simple and quick technique, and result in a good longlasting analgesia, seems to decrease the risk of respiratory depression, and allows an immediate and comfortable awakening.
