Background: Lidocaine in del Nido cardioplegia solution prolongs the refractory period of cardiomyocytes, yielding a longer arrest per dose. Serum lidocaine concentrations >8 mg/L are associated with seizure and cardiotoxicity. We evaluated serum lidocaine concentrations in patients receiving del Nido solution during cardiac surgery.

Background: Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. Under general anesthesia, neurological signs are often masked, delaying diagnosis and increasing the risk of sudden cardiovascular collapse. Therefore, early detection methods are critically needed.

Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a medical procedure for treating severe depression and other mental health disorders, with anesthesia management being crucial for patient safety. Despite extensive research on factors influencing seizure quality during ECT, the impact of pre-ECT anxiety remains insufficiently explored.
Methods: This prospective observational study aimed to investigate the influence of pre-ECT anxiety, as measured by the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale, on electroencephalogram ictal characteristics during ECT and to explore anesthesia-related factors that may enhance seizure quality.

Introduction: Critically ill pediatric patients are endotracheally intubated in pediatric intensive care units for a variety of illnesses and indications. Management of an endotracheal tube (ETT) requires suctioning to remove patient secretions and prevent occlusion, but this practice can be associated with adverse events, such as hemodynamic deterioration or increases in intracranial pressure. Instillation of lidocaine into the ETT before suctioning may be beneficial in preventing these events.

Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic commonly used during circumcision for dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB). We describe a case of a 12-week-old infant who presented generalized seizures due to local anesthetic systemic toxicity after Lidocaine administration for circumcision in a non-hospital setting. Serum concentrations of Lidocaine (16.
