Local anesthetics are used to provide comfort to patients during the procedure of lumbar puncture. The main anesthetic that is used is lidocaine. Lidocaine is an amide local anesthetic with 1-2% concentration. Lidocaine works by depolarizing type C sensory neurons by blocking sodium channels. Lidocaine is a rapid-acting drug but the result wears off within two hours. Another local anesthetic that can be sued is bupivacaine. Although bupivacaine has a slower effect, it is long lasting which results in pain relief for a longer time.
