Plain bupivacaine: an unpredictable spinal anaesthetic agent.

abstract：:In rats injected s.c. with formalin, behavioural correlates of the amount and pattern of Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-Ll) (molecular responses to pain) were studied to test if early phase treatment with 75% nitrous oxide or 2% halothane, or both, suppressed subsequent spinal sensitization. Rats were allocated to fou...
