Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of articaine and bupivacaine/lidocaine for peribulbar anaesthesia by inferotemporal injection.
Articaine is a novel amide local anaesthetic with a shorter duration of action than prilocaine. ⋯ Two per cent articaine is safe and effective for peribulbar anaesthesia by inferotemporal injection and is a suitable alternative to the traditional mixture of 0.5% bupivacaine and 2% lidocaine.
