Sažetak
Local anaesthetic drugs are widely used for the provision of regional anaesthesia and analgesia. When used properly, they are safe and effective and have only few side effects. But in case of high plasma concentrations, it can be toxic and neurologic and cardiovascular symptoms may occur. Systemic toxicity, although rare complication, it can be life threatening and resistant to treatment. This review offers a brief overview of the current understanding of the circumstances that cause systemic and cardiovascular toxicity in the daily clinical practice and the management of clinical signs and simptoms of local anesthetic toxicity
