N2  - Abstract:  Local anesthetic are relatively safe if administered in an appropriate dosage and in a correct anatomic location. However, systemic and localized toxic reactions can occur, usually as a result of accidental intravascular or itnrathecal injection or administration of an excessive dose (1).  Presented is a case of a patient who became unconscious twice upon an epidural lidocaine test dosing. The anesthetic plan was to do a continuous lumbar epidural anesthesia. (CLEA) (Fig. 1a, b, c,) but was converted to General Endotracheal Anesthesia (GETA)
