sometimes this was followed by a fan injection in the cheek
area with the 1% solution. A retrospective chart review of 95
consenting adults receiving this anesthesia regimen in an
office-based setting indicates no evidence of hallucinations,
postoperative nausea and vomiting, and no cardiovascular
instability or seizures (signs of lidocaine toxicity). In addi-
tion, this technique allowed for an immobile, unconscious
patient with adequate local anesthesia, without the increased
equipment requirements and complication risk associated
with general anesthesia (88).
