Effect of Topical Anesthesia Using an Adhesive Patch and Anesthetic Solution

Effect of Topical Anesthesia Using an Adhesive Patch and Anesthetic Solution We analyzed trigeminal somatosensory evoked potentials (TSEP) to the alveolar mucosa to investigate the efficacy of an amide local anesthetic, 2% lidocaine hydrochloride with 12.5 μg/mL epinephrine (Lido treatment) as a topical anesthetic. Eighteen consenting healthy adult volunteers were enrolled. A volume of 0.06 mL of Lido, 0.06 g of 20% benzocaine, or 0.06 mL of physiological saline (control) was instilled onto a hemostatic adhesive patch, which was then applied to the alveolar mucosa at the maxillary right canine for 5 minutes. An electrical stimulus approximately 5 times that of the sensory threshold was applied using a surface stimulation electrode. The trigeminal somatosensory evoked potential was recorded immediately, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes after removal of the patch. Positive P125 and P310 peaks and negative N100 and N340 peaks were observed as a result of the electrical stimulation. A significant decrease in the percentage change in amplitude of N100-P125 was observed in the Lido treatment immediately, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes after patch removal. In the Lido treatment, trigeminal somatosensory evoked potential amplitude at N100-P125 decreased significantly, suggesting that topical anesthesia produced by an amide local anesthetic may have a topical anesthetic effect as potent as that produced by an ester local anesthetic. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Anesthesia Progress Allen Press

Abstract

We analyzed trigeminal somatosensory evoked potentials (TSEP) to the alveolar mucosa to investigate the efficacy of an amide local anesthetic, 2% lidocaine hydrochloride with 12.5 μg/mL epinephrine (Lido treatment) as a topical anesthetic. Eighteen consenting healthy adult volunteers were enrolled. A volume of 0.06 mL of Lido, 0.06 g of 20% benzocaine, or 0.06 mL of physiological saline (control) was instilled onto a hemostatic adhesive patch, which was then applied to the alveolar mucosa at the maxillary right canine for 5 minutes. An electrical stimulus approximately 5 times that of the sensory threshold was applied using a surface stimulation electrode. The trigeminal somatosensory evoked potential was recorded immediately, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes after removal of the patch. Positive P125 and P310 peaks and negative N100 and N340 peaks were observed as a result of the electrical stimulation. A significant decrease in the percentage change in amplitude of N100-P125 was observed in the Lido treatment immediately, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes after patch removal. In the Lido treatment, trigeminal somatosensory evoked potential amplitude at N100-P125 decreased significantly, suggesting that topical anesthesia produced by an amide local anesthetic may have a topical anesthetic effect as potent as that produced by an ester local anesthetic.
