Novocaine blockade - indications and contraindications for use.
Novocaine blockade is a medical procedure aimed at temporarily relieving pain in order to alleviate the patient's condition.
Novocaine blockade is aimed at suppressing nerve impulses of the sympathetic nervous system, transmitted to the central nervous system. In other words, the innervation of the area prone to pain is blocked.
Indications for novocaine blockade are pain syndromes accompanying:
- injuries to tissues, organs and skeleton (ruptures, crush injuries, fractures, entrapment, displacement, stretching),
- minimally invasive medical manipulations in diagnostics in proctology, gynecology, urology, gastrointestinal examinations,
- neuralgia and neuritis,
- compression of nerve endings,
- inflammatory processes in tissues and organs,
- focal suppuration (phlegmon, hidradenitis, boils, abscesses).
There are a number of contraindications for novocaine blockade:
- individual intolerance to novocaine,
- septicemia or peritonitis,
- bleeding,
- diseases associated with the destruction of myelin (the sheath of nerve fibers),
- the presence of inoperable tumors,
- terminal conditions of the patient,
- arrhythmias or persistent hypotension,
- abscess formation of body tissues.
Novocaine blockade is carried out in the area adjacent or adjacent to the focus of pain, sometimes in the focus itself (for example, novocaine can be injected into the abscess cavity together with an antibacterial drug).
Novocaine blockade is carried out on an outpatient basis, and not at home, since sterility must be observed. Self-administration of novocaine blockade is prohibited, since the specialist performing this manipulation must be well versed in the anatomy and topography of internal organs and innervation of body tissues.
