Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialPropofol injection pain: comparing the addition of lignocaine or metoclopramide.
Lignocaine has been shown to reduce the incidence of pain on injection of propofol. Metoclopramide, a weak local anaesthetic and commonly used antiemetic, was combined with propofol and the mixture compared, in a prospective, randomized trial, with a lignocaine-propofol combination. ⋯ One patient in the metoclopramide-propofol group had a minor extrapyramidal reaction. No adverse local or haemodynamic effects were seen.
