Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Ask the patient about any prior adverse reactions to local anaesthesia. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • If the patient indicates that they cannot tolerate local anaesthesia, determine which type of anaesthesia is responsible for the allergy.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Do not give more than the maximum allowed dose of local anaesthetic.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Avoid intravasal<\/strong><\/span> injection.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Be prepared for allergic or toxic reactions.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Inject the fluid very slowly; this avoids unnecessary pain.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • If more than one injection is needed, try to administer subsequent injections in the area that is already anaesthetised.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
