Table 1
Short-acting insulin can reverse lidocaine- or bupivacaine-induced sciatic nerves local anesthesia.

Results are presented as mean ± SD (n = 8). “Start” means that small amplitude of the action potential appears as recovery from local anesthesia. “Complete” means that when the action potential amplitude is recovered as much as preanesthetics level. Insulin is a short-acting insulin, Humulin R®. #Significant difference from lidocaine + normal saline group at p < 0.01. Significant difference from bupivacaine + normal saline group at p < 0.01. |
