Abstract

Information derived from measurements of blood concentrations of local anaesthetics can be extended by the application of pharmacokinetic anaylsis. A better understanding of quantitative aspects of the disposition and absorption of these drugs should assist the anaesthetist in deciding the optimal agent and dosage for regional block techniques.
