Abstract
Fifteen millilitre of 0.5% lignocaine was injected into the radial artery to provide analgesia for hand surgery in an elderly arthritic female patient. She experienced only minimal discomfort during injection and analgesia was excellent. No untoward effects were observed. This technique is recommended when other methods of regional analgesia are unavailable.
