Q

needle length

A

60
Q

Problems- needle breaks

A

elastic properties of tissue allow rebound- covers/buries needle, if 5mm or more is visible use hemostats to remove

61
Q

Problems- needle bending

A

fatigues needle, no reason to bend to properly administer

A

normal response to pH of drug, cartridge contains bisulfate

67
Q

68
Q

topical anesthetic

A

prior to needle penetration, benzocaine = most common, lidocaine, ointment/sprays

69
Q

what happens when topical left to long?

A

causes tissue to sluff

70
Q

hemostats/cotton pliers

5 minutes after administration - syncope

related to STRESS not the drug
