Duration of actionDuration of action
The duration of action of LA may vary from The duration of action of LA may vary from 30min to 180 minutes or longer,30min to 180 minutes or longer,
Duration is related to dosage, increasing dosage Duration is related to dosage, increasing dosage increases duration,increases duration,
Duration can be increased by adding Epinephrine Duration can be increased by adding Epinephrine (vasoconstrictor) to the local anaesthesia,(vasoconstrictor) to the local anaesthesia,

Nerve to be blockedNerve to be blocked
Small nerves are in general easier to be Small nerves are in general easier to be block than larger onces,block than larger onces,
Nerve endings and cutaneous nerves are Nerve endings and cutaneous nerves are easily and quickly blocked by low easily and quickly blocked by low concentration of drug given by infiltration,concentration of drug given by infiltration,
