Anesthesia Infiltration

Infiltration anesthesia (a. per infiltrationem; synonym a. layer-by-layer) is a type of local anesthesia in which the anesthetic is injected directly into the tissues subject to surgery. With this type of anesthesia, tissues are soaked in an anesthetic solution, which leads to pain relief in the area.

Infiltration anesthesia is often used for minor superficial operations, for example, when opening abscesses, draining cavities, and removing benign formations. It can also be used in combination with regional anesthesia to enhance the analgesic effect.

The advantages of infiltration anesthesia are ease of implementation, rapid onset of effect, and the ability to relieve pain in any part of the body. The disadvantage is the short-term effect and the inability to anesthetize deep-lying tissues. However, when used correctly, infiltration anesthesia provides an adequate level of pain relief for many surgical procedures.

Infiltration anesthesia is one of the methods of local anesthesia, which is used to reduce pain and discomfort of the patient during surgical procedures or other medical interventions. Infiltration anesthesia involves injecting a special solution under the patient’s skin into the area where surgical procedures are planned. The solution causes local numbness, which prevents the transmission of pain signals to the central nervous system. This allows the doctor to perform the operation without pain and stress for the patient. To carry out infiltration anesthesia, special equipment is used, such as syringes and catheters. The doctor injects the drug solution into the desired areas of the skin through a catheter, then slowly moves the catheter inside the body tissues to achieve
