Nupercain as a Spinal Anesthetic with Special Reference to the Employment of Nupercain Solution of High Dilution 1, 2, 3 1 Presented before the annual meeting of the American Association of Genito-Urinary Surgeons, Hot Springs, Virginia, May 14–16, 1934. Revised and read at the meeting of the Southeastern Branch of the American Urological Association, Atlanta, Georgia, December 7–8, 1934. 2 Submitted for publication January 14, 1935. 3 The concentrated (1: 200) nupercain solution is put up in 2-cc. ampules, each ampule containing 10mgm. of nupercain. The usual amount required for spinal anesthesia is 2cc. Jones’ solution of nupercain (1: 1500) is put up in 20-cc. ampules, each ampule containing approximately 13.3mgm. The maximum amount of the dilute solution of nupercain (1: 1500) which is usually necessary for any type of urological operation, namely 13cc., contains appreciably less nupercain (8.6mgm.) than the regular dose of the concentrated solution (10mgm.). Since alarming results in spinal anesthesia are often due to unnecessarily large doses of the anesthetic, one keeps well within the maximum dose of nupercain when 13cc. of Jones’ solution are employed.
