Bupivacaine Baxter can be used to:
•
numb parts of the body during surgery in adults and adolescents above
12 years

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Bupivacaine Baxter should only be used by physicians experienced in
regional anaesthesia or under his or
hers supervision. The lowest dosage needed to provide effective
anaesthesia should be administered.
In order to avoid intravascular injection, aspiration should be
repeated prior to and during administration of
the main dose, which should be injected slowly or in divided doses, at
a rate of 25-50 mg/min, while closely
observing the patient's vital functions and maintaining verbal
contact.
When an epidural dose is to be injected, a preceding test dose of 3-5
ml bupivacaine containing adrenaline
(epinephrine) is recommended. An inadvertent intravascular injection
may be recognised by a temporary
increase in heart rate and an accidental intrathecal injection by
signs of a spinal block. If toxic symptoms
occur, the injection should be stopped immediately.
The dosage varies and depends upon the area to be anaesthetised, the
vascularity of the tissues, the number
of neuronal segments to be blocked, individual tole
