Sphenopalatine ganglion block using bupivacaine: xylocaine
Patients will have the cotton swab soaked in the LA medication introduced into their nostrils along the superior edge of the middle concha to the posterior wall of the nasopharynx to receive approximately 0.5ml of the medication, and then they will have 1.5 ml of the medication injected via a syringe connected to a 20 G catheter into their nostrils bilaterally.
