Facial lacerations in children are common emergencies that often require debridement and closure under general anaesthesia because of poor cooperation by the patient. General anaesthesia in children is not without risk so any technique that avoids its use is beneficial. LAT gel (lidocaine, adrenaline, and tetracaine) is a topical anaesthetic, which is ideal for suturing facial lacerations in children. In our experience its use has resulted in the effective treatment of these injuries, and has reduced distress and discomfort, and the need for hospital admission and general anaesthesia.
儿童面部裂伤是常见的急症，由于患儿配合度差，往往需要在全身麻醉下进行清创缝合。儿童全身麻醉并非没有风险，因此任何避免使用全身麻醉的技术都是有益的。LAT凝胶（利多卡因、肾上腺素和丁卡因）是一种局部麻醉剂，非常适合用于缝合儿童面部裂伤。根据我们的经验，使用LAT凝胶可有效治疗这些损伤，减少患儿的痛苦和不适，以及住院和全身麻醉的需求。
