What is the expected outcome of injecting a patient at a rate of 1ml/min?

Injecting a local anesthetic at a rate of 1 ml/min is associated with fewer adverse complications for several reasons. Administering the anesthetic at a slower pace allows for better tissue absorption and minimizes pressure buildup in the surrounding tissues. This technique reduces the likelihood of causing trauma to the tissues as the anesthetic spreads out more evenly and avoids sudden increases in intracompartmental pressure that can lead to complications such as hematomas or nerve damage. Additionally, a slower injection may allow the clinician to monitor the patient's response to the anesthesia in real-time, reducing the chances of systemic effects or unexpected reactions. Overall, the careful administration rate contributes to a safer procedure and enhances patient comfort.
