| Details | Local anaesthetic toxicity, though rare, can result in life-threatening complications if not promptly recognized and treated. Toxicity typically arises from excessive dosage, rapid systemic absorption, or accidental intravascular injection, leading to neurological and cardiovascular disturbances. This session will cover the pathophysiology, early recognition, and management strategies for local anaesthetic toxicity, including the use of lipid emulsion therapy, airway management, and supportive measures. Timely intervention is crucial to mitigate adverse outcomes, and this CME aims to enhance clinical preparedness for such emergencies. |
