Many local anesthetics fall into two general chemical classes, amino esters (top) and amino amides (bottom). A local anesthetic (LA) is a medication that causes absence of all sensation (including pain) in a specific body part without loss of consciousness, [1] providing local anesthesia, as opposed to a general anesthetic, which eliminates all sensation in the entire body and causes ...
A local anesthetic is a drug that causes reversible local anesthesia and a loss of nociception.

Other novel technologies for drug delivery via breast milk involve the use of external objects to mediate the addition of compounds into the milk being consumed. One of these technologies is a nipple shield. A nipple shield is placed onto the nipple of a breastfeeding mother, releasing treatment into the milk as the mother breastfeeds an infant ...

[11] [12] TIVA has also been used for anesthetic delivery at sites of trauma such as serious accidents, disasters and wars. [1] The overall goals of TIVA include: [13] Smooth induction of anesthesia
