Benzocaine-induced methemoglobinemia--two case reports related to transesophageal echocardiography premedication.

Abstract

Benzocaine-induced methemoglobinemia is a potentially life-threatening complication. We report two cases of methemoglobinemia due to topical benzocaine spray used as premedication for transesophageal echocardiography. A high index of suspicion is needed for this readily treatable condition.
