A member asked:

What should be done by the medical staff in the event of a lidocaine overdose?

Dr. Ionel Rad answered

It depends: Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (last) has a specific treatment as you can see it at http://www.Asra.Com/checklist-for-local-anesthetic-toxicity-treatment-1-18-12.Pdf. Treated promptly, last can be reversible, but not always.
