EMLA cream as a topical anesthetic for the repeated mechanical debridement of venous leg ulcers: A double-blind, placebo-controlled study

Background: A granulating surface is important for skin grafting and healing of leg ulcers. Mechanical debridement to remove necrotic tissue often must be stopped before completion because of pain. Objective: Our purpose was to assess the effect of EMLA cream on the number of debridements required t...

description Background: A granulating surface is important for skin grafting and healing of leg ulcers. Mechanical debridement to remove necrotic tissue often must be stopped before completion because of pain. Objective: Our purpose was to assess the effect of EMLA cream on the number of debridements required to obtain a clean ulcer and on pain during debridement and to determine its safety after repeated doses. Methods: In this randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 69 patients with venous leg ulcers received cream before debridement until a clean ulcer was obtained (or a maximum of 15 debridements). Results: EMLA decreased the median number of debridements required for a clean ulcer (EMLA 11.5, placebo >15; P = .019) and decreased pain by 50% ( P = .003). Plasma levels of lidocaine, prilocaine, and their main metabolites were low without any apparent accumulation. Conclusion: EMLA produces effective pain relief for the debridement of leg ulcers and shortens the time to a clean ulcer. (J Am Acad Dermatol 1999;40:208-13.)
