https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/31504/zylocaine What are you guys using as an alternative to intubeaze? Is zylocaine a nono? I&#39;m reading so much conflicting info Thanks en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174060?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 07 Feb 2019 20:36:49 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:2210cbcf-f66f-4ea1-9eea-285e0135957dJames Colver Cert. Ed, RVN<p>As per Sal&#39;s suggestion above - I have once locumed in a practice that drew up 0.1ml of lidocaine in an insulin syringe, then bent the needle off.&nbsp; They made a few up in advance and kept them on the anaesthetic machine.&nbsp; It worked fine!&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174059?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 07 Feb 2019 20:27:03 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:b01411aa-d8d0-451e-9318-84a00c8e52dbSal the 1st<p>xylocaine was reported as causing laryngeal oedema in cats. Had never seen a case and neither has anybody else I have ever worked with vets or nurses but did hear a few times an interesting theory that it wasn&#39;t the actual xylocaine so much as the length of the applicator that was causing the problem. You can use local anaesthetic without adrenaline sprayed from a syringe - have seen this done before when there was an intubeaze shortage - between 0.05 and 0.1ml&nbsp; but must be without adrenaline</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174055?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 07 Feb 2019 16:20:14 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:73546d1f-2427-4f46-904d-137f6851b5bfKatie Germany<p>We used to use that many years ago but since the introduction of intubeze I&rsquo;ve only ever seen intubeze used in practice. &nbsp;Hope someone can shed some light on this for you xx</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
