The effectiveness of lidocaine-prilocaine cream has been restricted by the need for a 1-hour application period. A 1-hour wait may not be possible in busy hospitals, for instance, and such a delay may not be scientifically justified in the emergency room. In addition, some clinicians have raised doubts about the cream's blanching reaction and hypothesized that a vasoconstrictive effect on blood vessels can occur. If real, these results would make it more difficult to locate veins and potentially effect on the procedure's performance. The goal of this study was to thoroughly re-examine all experiments explicitly contrasting lidocaine-prilocaine with tetracaine in children for skin anesthesia. The steps were added and covered on the dorsum of the hands and/or feet with an occlusive dressing. Before the child was supposed to go to the theatre, the preparation was eliminated, and both the duration of application and any local skin reaction were registered. Lidocaine–prilocaine and tetracaine tend to be comparable in effectiveness for alleviating operative discomfort when used when labelled by the manufacturers. The faster onset of action of tetracaine, however, is a quality that makes tetracaine a more appealing choice in the clinical settings.
