Tumescent, how do I do it?

Phlebology. 2013 Mar:28 Suppl 1:15-20. doi: 10.1177/0268355513477980.

Abstract

Local perivenous anaesthesia has evolved from tumescent anaesthesia which has had a huge impact on liposuction procedures. Perivenous anaesthesia has had a similar effect on peripheral venous surgery. Safety during its application is further enhanced when combined with skilled ultrasound guidance and astute operator awareness.
