Summary
Many methods used for investigating the local anesthetizing effect of medicinal preparations have a significant drawback, preventing objective recording of the changes occurring during local anesthesia. Such methods give only subjective results, which are not always reliable. A method of assessing conduction anesthesia, suggested by the author, makes it possible to take a separate recording of the changes occurring in the nerve impulse conductivity along the sensory and the motor fibers of frog sciatic nerve, subjected to anesthesia.
