Procedure of local anesthesia.

Implementation
This section has been translated automatically.

Fan-shaped injection of the local anaesthetic into the area to be anaesthetised to eliminate the sensitive nerve endings:
  • The slower the infiltration, the less painful the procedure.
  • As few punctures as possible with fan-shaped distribution.
  • Infiltration along the planned incision route intracutaneously, in the area of mobilisation subcutaneously into the fatty tissue (with "forward injection" small nerves and vessels evade and are not captured).
  • If necessary, also performed as field block anaesthesia.
