Explanation:
Definição do Medical Dictionary:
"a minute amount of local anaesthetic solution delivered to the dermoepidermal junction, creating a small area of anaesthetized skin, allowing subsequent painfree delivery of the main injection"

Example sentence(s):
  • Our practice is to raise a small intradermal bleb of lidocaine, which produces almost immediate cutaneous anaesthesia
  • Consider applying topical (p390) or intradermal local anaesthetic (bleb of 1% lidocaine over the artery using an orange needle)
