Abstract
Procaine in our experience has been the most valuable of all the local anesthetic agents. It is used extensively for spinal anesthesia and other types of regional anesthesia such as sacral block, cervical plexus block and abdominal wall block. Vasoconstrictor drugs such as epinephrine and cobefrin are used to prolong the action of procaine, and ephedrine is used in spinal anesthesia to help sustain blood pressure. Barbiturates are administered prior to use of procaine because of their sedative and antispasmodic action. The technique of spinal anesthesia and numerous regional anesthetic procedures are described, and the indications for such methods are stated.
