Ropivacaine is a long-acting amide local anaesthetic agent which has a significant vasoconstrictive property, long duration of action, least central nervous system and cardiac complications due to the pure (S)-enantiomer property by reversible inhibition of sodium ion influx in nerve fibres. By using additives the duration of analgesia may be prolonged. Ropivacaine has been used routinely in our otorhinolaryngology procedures since 2010 (10 years). The present article details the clinical applications of ropivacaine and its current place as a local anaesthetic in otorhinolaryngology practice.

Cognitive impairment caused by anesthesia and surgery is one of the most common complications with multiple etiologies that occurs in elderly patients. The underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, and there is a lack of therapeutic strategies. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that myelin loss, abnormal phosphorylation of the tau protein and neuronal apoptosis are substantial driving factors of cognitive deficits.

Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry, Dr Ziauddin Ahmad Dental College and Hospital, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Aim And Background: Although local anesthesia (LA) eliminates pain and instills a positive dental attitude, the physical appearance of its syringe is highly fear provoking and often intolerable. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the pain and fear perception in camouflaged syringe (CS) and vibration-assisted syringe (VA) when compared with conventional syringe and with each other (VACS) during local anesthetic administration in pediatric patients aged between 6 and 12 years.
Materials And Methods: Eighty-five subjects were randomly assigned into three groups: CS group ( = 7), VA group ( = 26), and VACS group ( = 27).

Background: When it comes to reducing children's fear, anxiety, and discomfort during dental procedures, substantial local anesthetic delivery promotes adequate intervention. In the dental operatory, local anesthetic injections are the most anticipated or feared stimuli. The application of topical anesthetics, cryotherapy, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to the oral mucosa prior to local anesthetic injections can alter pain perception in children.

Department of Public Health, Poornima University, Alwar, Rajasthan, India.
Aims And Background: Local anesthetics play a crucial role in pain management in pediatric dentistry, where anxiety and fear are common among young patients. This study aimed to compare the anesthetic efficacy of 2% lignocaine with a 20-gauge needle in an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) and 4% articaine with a 24-gauge needle in a buccal nerve block (BNB) during the extraction of dentoalveolar abscesses in children aged 5-11 years.
Materials And Methods: A 12-month randomized controlled trial involving 100 healthy children was conducted following ethical standards.
