A Local Anaesthetic Checklist is a concise, step‑by‑step safety tool that clinicians run through before administering any local anesthetic. It confirms the correct drug, concentration, and total dose for the patient, verifies that there are no known allergies or contraindications, and checks that all necessary equipment—such as syringes, needles, and monitoring devices—is prepared and functional. By documenting each item and obtaining a final sign‑off, the checklist helps prevent medication errors, reduces the risk of adverse reactions, and ensures consistent, high‑quality care across every procedure.
