Objective: To assess the effect of vasoconstrictor in dental local anaesthetic on hemodynamic parameters in patients
with cardiovascular disease following tooth extraction.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted at Al-Manara college for medical sciences, Amarah, Iraq. The sample
of the study included 50 patients with cardiovascular disease who were presented for extraction of a single
mandibular molar under local anaesthesia. The local anaesthesia was achieved with inferior alveolar nerve block
using single cartridge of 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate,
and oxygen saturation were measured before injection, immediately after injection, and after 5 and 15 minutes of
injection.
Results: Although the systolic blood pressure and heart rate wer.. View more»
