“…Lidocaine with epinephrine is widely used in the acute care setting for procedural local anaesthesia because of its fast onset of action;9 many studies have shown it to be safe as a digital block 4 – 8. Our study shows that, in addition, it produces less pain at the time of injection.…”

“…From the literature comparing bupivacaine and lidocaine,9 10 we found that infiltration of bupivacaine and lidocaine may last for up to 6 h and 2 h, respectively. In another study, 2% lidocaine with epinephrine produced digital anaesthesia for an average of 10.4 h 1.…”

“…The effect of lidocaine HCl, a component of TA, has been widely investigated for its effects on the cortisol response to castration of calves (Coetzee, 2011). One study found that 2% lidocaine HCl, injected into the testes and scrotum 15 min before castration, did not reduce the integrated cortisol response to surgical or burdizzo castration of Friesian calves (Fisher et al, 1996), despite significantly reducing cortisol concentrations from 0.25 to 1 h. Fisher et al (1996) suggested that this was likely attributable to the short duration of action (~1 h) (Reichl and Quinton, 1987) of lidocaine HCl. This suggestion is not suitable to explain the lack of difference between the integrated cortisol response of CTA and C calves in the current study.…”

Impracticality and cost of existing pain management strategies during surgical castration of beef cattle have limited their widespread implementation on-farm. A farmer-applied topical anaesthetic formulation, originally developed and used commercially to mitigate the pain of mulesing in lambs, was investigated for its potential use for managing pain in surgically castrated calves. This formulation contained lidocaine, bupivacaine, adrenalin and cetrimide. In this study, 24 Angus bull calves were randomly allocated to (1) surgical castration (C, n=8), (2) surgical castration with the post-operative application of topical anaesthetic (CTA, n=8) and (3) sham castration/control (CON, n=8). The experiment was conducted over 2 days, with treatment groups evenly represented across each day. Calves were habituated to handling before the experiment and blood samples were collected for plasma cortisol measurement at defined time periods before, at and post treatment, (at -0.5, 0 h, then +0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4 and 6 h). There was a significant effect of time on cortisol concentrations across all treatment groups (P<0.01), with lowest concentrations at -0.5 and 6 h and peak concentration at 0.5 h being significantly higher than the cortisol response at 0 h. The effect of treatment was not significant (P=0.077), however, there was a trend for CON calves to display lower cortisol concentrations than C and CTA calves and CTA calves to display lower cortisol concentrations than C calves. The mean area under the curve (AUC) of CON calves was significantly lower than those of C and CTA calves (P=0.04), however, there was no significant difference between the AUCs of CTA and C calves. Immediate application of topical anaesthetic after surgical castration did not significantly reduce plasma cortisol concentrations. However, the trend for CTA calves to display lower cortisol concentrations than C calves warrants further investigation into the use of TA for pain relief of surgically castrated beef calves.

“…31 The onset of action for bupivacaine has been reported as 11.2 minutes (range 8 to 20 minutes). 31 The duration of action for digital block anesthesia for lidocaine has been reported between 60 minutes 31 and 4.9 hours. 32 Reichi and Quinton 31 reported a mean duration of action of bupivacaine of 7.9 hours (SD Ϯ 4.6 hours).…”
