Local infiltration anesthesia

local anesthesia via injection

€20

Local infiltration anesthesia is a safe and effective method in which anesthetic medication is injected into the tissues with a small needle to temporarily reduce or completely eliminate sensation in a specific ENT area. It allows procedures to be performed painlessly while the patient remains awake and able to communicate with the doctor.

It is recommended in order to:

  • make a procedure painless;
  • reduce discomfort and anxiety;
  • temporarily suppress gagging or sneezing reflexes when precise endoscopic examination is needed;
  • support vasoconstriction when specific medication is added, improving visibility for the doctor and reducing bleeding risk.

To prepare for local anesthesia, tell your doctor about any previous allergic reactions to anesthetic medication, all regular medication, especially cardiovascular drugs, and any unpleasant symptoms such as faintness or palpitations during earlier anesthetic procedures.

What happens during local anesthesia?

assesses the treatment area and explains the expected extent of numbness;

injects the anesthetic into the tissues with a small needle;

waits for the numbness to take effect, usually within a few minutes, and then performs the planned procedure.

How will you feel when the procedure is over?

the treated area may feel heavy or numb, similar to the sensation after a dental visit;

normal sensation usually returns within 1 to 3 hours;

if the throat was numbed, it is recommended not to eat or drink until the numbness has completely resolved, to avoid choking.
