- Lipid Infusion Rescue for Bupivacaine-Induced Cardiac Arrest After Axillary BlockJournal of Hand SurgeryVol. 35Issue 1
- PreviewBupivacaine, a long-acting local anesthetic agent, is widely used for pain control in ambulatory surgery patients.

Unlike lidocaine, bupivacaine is highly lipophilic. Accidental bupivacaine intravascular injection or excessive systemic absorption can lead to cardiac depression, severe arrhythmias, hypotension, and/or cardiac arrest.
