Sedation is when you get the mask and they knock you out. A local is when they give you an injection to numb the area.
It's called an epidural.
Sensorcaine is a type of epinephrine injection. It is a local anesthetic agent and can only be taken via an injection.

Local anesthetic is safe if the dosage is not excessive. When the area to aspirate is extensive, the high doses of local anesthetic required are toxic and may cause serious complications. In these cases, a general anesthetic (by inhalation) guarantees the best results, reducing risks to a minimum. In any case now the client can return home after the surgery.
Epinephrine is a vasoconstrictor commonly added to local anesthetics. Its purpose is to increase the duration of the anesthetic by slowing down the systemic metabolism of the anesthetic. In other words, epinephrine decreases blood flow in the area of the injection, thereby keeping the anesthetic in the area longer and extending the anesthetic effect.
The doctor first numbs the skin with an injection of local anesthetic. After the skin is desensitized, the doctor makes a series of tiny incisions, usually 0.12-0.25 in (3-6 mm) in length. The area is then flooded with a larger amount of local anesthetic.
Once the wound has been cleansed, the physician anesthetizes the area of the repair. Most lacerations are anesthetized by local injection of lidocaine
an anesthetic is a drug that numbs your sensation and sometimes dampens your alertness. There are many types of anesthetic including topical (benzocaine cream for example), local (a novacaine injection at the dentist for example) and general (which is what they would use to "knock you out" for a major surgery)
A local anesthetic is a mild anesthetic used to numb a specific area of the body (such as a Novocaine shot). Novocaine is the most commonly used local anesthetic, though there are topical local anesthetics that can be rubbed on the skin (i.e. Oragel)
An anesthesiologist may be on hand during surgery to administer the local anesthetic.
You should not drive up to twelve hours after you've received a local anesthetic. This is because the anesthetic can make you drowsy, tired, and not fully aware of your surroundings.
