What is it used for?

Numbing a localised area to prevent pain (local anaesthesia) by local infiltration, epidural and minor or major nerve blocks.

Controlling abnormal contractions of the two lower chambers of the heart (ventricular arrhythmias), particularly after a heart attack.

How does it work?

Lidocaine works by temporarily blocking this pathway of pain signals along nerves. It does this by stopping the sodium entering the nerve ending at the site of the pain. This prevents an electrical signal building up and passing along the nerve fibres to the brain.

Lidocaine injection is also used in the emergency treatment of heart rhythm disturbances, particularly in cases of suspected or proven heart attack. It is given by intravenous infusion or intravenous bolus injection.Lidocaine is a type of medicine called a local anaesthetic. It is used to numb areas that would otherwise feel pain.

Pain is caused by the stimulation of pain receptors at the ends of nerves. The stimulation causes sodium to enter the nerve ending, which causes an electrical signal to build up in the nerve. When this electrical signal is big enough, it passes along the nerve to the brain, where the signal is interpreted as pain.
