Methemoglobinemia should be suspected when oxygen saturation apparently decreases after prilocaine infiltration during intravenous sedation
During intravenous sedation, a decrease in SpO2 is usually the result of respiratory failure. However, we experienced a case with SpO2 decrease that was caused by methemoglobinemia in prilocaine infiltration anesthesia during sedation. This indicates that methemoglobinemia should be considered if lo...
