lidocaine would not be used to treat asystole. source: studying for my respiratory pharmacology final exam right now
No, lidocaine cardiac injections would not be used in a typical surgery. It would be used for procedures that are done in the office, where only a small spot on the body needs to be numb.
Yes, but ask your doctor.
a local anesthetic (trade names Lidocaine and Xylocaine) used topically on the skin and mucous membranes so I'm assuming it would be used to numb the area for incision.
