Comparative Study Clinical TrialSupraclavicular brachial plexus block with etidocaine without vasoconstrictor. Preliminary report.
When used for supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks, etidocaine 1% gave a quick and sufficient onset. Its duration was longer than that of mepivacaine 2%, and equal to that of bupivacaine 0.5%. ⋯ The long-acting agents showed great variations in duration, and they all had longer regression times than mepivacaine. No serious pharmacological side-effects were observed during this study, and so far there are no reports on neurological sequelae.

In this paper, a description is given of a simple, rapid method of peripheral nerve block by means of electrical nerve stimulation. This method gives optimal results and does not require cooperation by the patient. Since optimal sedation is permissible, the method is painless.

Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical TrialA comparative study between etidocaine and bupivacaine in ulnar nerve block.
The long-acting local anaesthetics bupivacaine and etidocaine were compared in a double-blind study using ulnar nerve block. Eleven volunteers took part in the study. Solutions used were: bupivacaine 0.25% and 0.5% and etidocaine 0.5% and 1 %. ⋯ Differences were seen in the degree of motor block in favour of etidocaine. The sympathetic block seemed to be more intense and of longer duration with bupivacaine. Etidocaine had a shorter time of onset in all nerve fibres.

Comparative Study Clinical TrialIntercostal blocks with etidocaine. Preliminary report.
Although the results are few and should be considered as preliminary, the following conclusions may be drawn: 1. Etidocaine 0.5% and bupivacaine 0.5%, both with adrenaline (5 mug/ml), are comparable with regard to duration of sensory block. 2. ⋯ Adrenaline added to the solution counteracts the dilating effect. 4. Blood level studies of etidocaine do not at present show differences when 0.5% solution with or without adrenaline is used.
