4.2
DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
As with all local anaesthetics, the dosage varies and depends upon the
area to be anaesthetised,
the vascularity of the tissues, the number of neuronal segments to be
blocked, the depth of
anaesthesia and degree of muscle relaxation required, individual
tolerance, the technique of
anaesthesia, and the physical condition of the patient.
The lowest dosage that results in effective anaesthesia should be
used. In general, surgical
anaesthesia requires the use of higher concentrations and doses than
those required for
analgesia. The volume of the drug used will affect the extent of
spread of anaesthesia.
