Their mechanism of action on the cell membrane produces anesthesia, analgesia, and side effects that can be catastrophic. Other effects such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic, and other therapeutic results have also been found and are still under investigation. Pharmacological advances in local anesthetics, the use of adjuvant drugs, and new regional anesthesia techniques have resulted in greater efficacy and safety for patients.Written by authors from around the world, this book examines selected topics on local anesthetics and their current use in clinical practice. 606 $aLocal anesthetics 606 $aLocal anesthetics$xHistory 615 0$aLocal anesthetics. 615 0$aLocal anesthetics$xHistory. 676 $a617.966 702 $aHerna?ndez-Cortez$b Enrique 702 $aWhizar-Lugo$b Victor 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688480003321 996 $aTopics in Local Anesthetics$91953627 997 $aUNINA
