    Lidocaine is used as a local anesthetic to manage acute ventricular arrhythmias and control status epilepticus. It works by increasing the electrical stimulation threshold in the ventricles during diastolic phase. Common side effects include GI disturbances, bradycardia, hypotension, and numbness. Nurses should monitor vital signs for adverse reactions, assess the patient before and after treatment, and monitor for effectiveness and side effects.
