Why is local anesthesia administered in addition to the use of inhalation, intravenous, and general anesthesia in OMFS practices?
What will be an ideal response?
Although the use of inhalation and intravenous sedation, as well as general anesthesia, is common in OMFS, effective local anesthesia plays an important supplemental role, assisting in providing effective intraoperative pain management and allowing for lighter general anesthesia and sedation. Local anesthetics with vasoconstrictors also provide hemostasis while longer-acting local anesthetics provide postoperative pain control and a more comfortable transition to oral and intravenous analgesics.
