Article Synopsis
- General practitioners often use lignocaine to excise suspected skin cancers, but it's unclear how its dose and volume affect wound complications.
- A pilot study reviewed patient records before and after an educational intervention, examining the link between lignocaine volume/dose and complication rates.
- Findings indicated that both the volume and dose of lignocaine were significantly related to complications, leading to reduced usage post-intervention without compromising pain relief, suggesting a need for further research in this area.
