SUMMARY
This paper describes the effect of lidocain
when used simultaneously with contraist-
medium for angiography to reduce the uncom-
fortable side-effects of the contrast-medium
(Angiografin).
A double-blind method was used and 38
patients were studied, each undergoing two
examinations, one with and the other without
lidocain.
A marked reduction in side-effects was noted
in 34 patients, when lidocain was used, two
patients felt no difference and two patients ex-
perienced equal or worse side-effects with lido-
cain. These two patients both had extensive
collateral circulation.
