AB Systemic  toxicity  of  local  anesthetics  can  occur  after  administration  of  an  excessive  dose,  with  rapid  absorption,  or  because  of  an  accidental  intravenous  injection.  The  management  of  local  anesthetic  toxicity  can  be  challenging,  and  in  the  case  of  cardiac  toxicity,  prolonged  resuscitation  efforts  may  be  necessary.1,2  Therefore,  understanding  the  circumstances  that  can  lead  to  systemic  toxicity  of  local  anesthetics  and  being  prepared  for  treatment  is  essential  to  optimize  the  patient  outcome.
