Why is lidocane put on an emergency trolley?

Lidocaine is included on emergency trolleys primarily for its use as a local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic agent. In emergency situations, it can be administered to provide pain relief for procedures or to manage life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, particularly ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Its rapid onset and effectiveness make it a critical medication in resuscitation and trauma care.
