Intra‐arterial regional anaesthesia for hand surgery: a dose‐finding study

Background: Intra‐arterial regional anaesthesia (IARA) may be useful for ambulatory hand surgery in patients with poor veins. This randomized, double‐blind study assessed which of the three doses of lignocaine gives the optimal analgesia with a minimum of adverse effects.
