- Recognise the risks of the local anaesthetic when used in SDI insertion and removal

Local anaesthetics work by blocking the nerves from a part of the body so that pain signals cannot reach the brain. They do this by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels from inside nerve axons to prevent conduction along the nerve.
