Reading Time: <1 minuteI have previously written about anesthesia for underarm odor in a blog. When treating underarm odor, it is essential to inform patients about the risks of anesthesia. However, it seems that almost all medical institutions do not inform patients about the risks of local anesthesia. https://www.kin-ikyo-chuo.jp/files/resident/senior/program-anesth Many doctors are unaware of the risks of the local anesthetic xylocaine. As shown in the table above, if 10cc of 2% xylocaine is rapidly injected into the body as an anesthetic, it will exceed the maximum dose and may even be life-threatening. In fact, a tragic fatal accident occurred at a certain cosmetic surgery clinic, where an inexperienced cosmetic surgeon administered a local anesthetic to a female patient in her 20s before surgery for underarm odor, resulting in her death. Fatal accidents from local anesthetics? It is not impossible. Recently, young cosmetic surgeons have become charismatic on social media, and cosmetic surgeons with very little experience and knowledge are overconfident in treating patients without receiving education on these risks. At our hospital, we currently mix our own anesthetics by adjusting the concentration of xylocaine to 0.17% or less, mixing it with the alkaline drug meiron to adjust the pH and suppress pain during pain. With MiraDry, it is not uncommon to administer more than 20cc to one armpit, and if 2% xylocaine is used on both armpits, it can be life-threatening... It is not true that it is safe because it is a famous cosmetic surgery clinic, or that anesthesia is safe because it is a doctor. Local anesthesia is a very scary medical procedure performed by a cosmetic surgeon who calls himself the director and has almost no medical or surgical knowledge, without considering the risks. Moreover, after the anesthetic injection is completed, the MiraDry treatment is left entirely to the nurses, and there are cases where the nurses do not notice any abnormal symptoms due to xylocaine poisoning after anesthesia. Of course, the nurses have no knowledge or experience in this field. If such risky medical procedures are performed with profit as the priority, the patient's life will be threatened. I would like patients to know that local anesthesia also carries significant risks before treatment.
