A case of coronary artery spasm during oral surgery under general anesthesia is reported. The patient, aged 44 years, 160 cm in height, and 55 kg in weight, was scheduled for radical surgery for right maxillary sinusitis and was healthy except for the disease requiring surgery. Just before the start of the surgery, severe and persistent hypotension with tachycardia after local injection of 3% propitocaine with 0.03 IU/mL felypressin (Citanest-Octapressin) was followed by sudden ST elevations in the ECG. Immediate continuous intravenous injection of nitroglycerin was thought to be effective. The patient recovered without any sequelae.

Fifty women undergoing laser vaporization of the cervix for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia were randomly allocated to one of two groups. In one group the patients received no anaesthesia, in the other the ectocervix was infiltrated with 2 ml of Citanest with Octapressin (prilocaine 3% with 0.03 i.u./ml. of felypressin) immediately before the procedure. The pain experienced by each group was assessed immediately after treatment by visual analogue and verbal rating scales. The pain experienced by those women receiving local anaesthesia was significantly reduced as assessed by the visual analogue scale (P = 0.011) and this reduction was not quite significant by the verbal rating scale (P = 0.06). The Citanest group had less troublesome bleeding but the difference in bleeding between the two groups was not significant.
