“…Based on the duration of local anesthetics, which is relative to their pKa, they can also be classified into short, medium, and long-acting local anesthetics [ 21 ]. The medium-acting local anesthetics such as lidocaine and articaine have become a reasonable choice because dental clinical treatment generally requires local anesthetics to have characteristics such as fast-acting, moderate duration and low toxicity.…”

“…Local anaesthesia (LA) and general anaesthesia (GA) are anaesthetic options on the surgical treatment of CTS. LA is safe, fast, and effective, but the injection could be painful [13,14]. In one recent series, about 10% of patients indicated that they would prefer another form of anaesthesia [15].…”

Our aim was to compare the clinical results of patients had carpal tunnel release surgery under local anesthesia and general anesthesia. Methods:We studied visual analogue scores and visual analogue patient satisfaction scores of 148 patients who underwent carpal tunnel release surgery. 100 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study. There were 12 males 38 females in general anesthesia group and 15 males 35 females in local anesthesia group. The mean age in general anesthesia group was 51.4 (31-78) and in local anesthesia group was 54.4 (28-81).Results: Visual analogue scores in general anesthesia group was 7.9 and decreased 2.9 postoperatively in local anesthesia group visual analogue score was 8.0 and decreased 2.9 postoperatively (p > 0.05). Visual analogue patient satisfaction score was 7.6 in general anesthesia group and 7.9 in local anesthesia group (p > 0.05). Conclusion:A high percentage of patients reported high levels of satisfaction, excellent results and improvements in their quality of life in both group. As the VAS and VAPSS were considered the primary outcome measure, the results of our study show that the type of anaesthesia has no effect on the results of surgical treatment of CTS. There were no significant differences in clinical results between 2 groups.

“…Minor hand surgical procedures are often performed in an ambulatory setting with local anesthesia (LA) with or without sedation. LA is safe, fast, and effective, but the injection is painful [1, 12, 13]. In one recent series, about 10 % of patients indicated that they would prefer another form of anesthesia [14].…”
