Randomized Controlled TrialMagnesium sulfate with lidocaine for preventing propofol injection pain: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Propofol injection pain, despite various strategies, remains common and troublesome. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that pretreatment with the combination of intravenous lidocaine and magnesium would have an additive effect on reducing propofol injection pain. ⋯ In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial, the combination of intravenous magnesium sulfate and lidocaine offered no additional benefit for the relief of propofol injection pain compared to intravenous lidocaine alone. An improved, receptor-based understanding of the mechanism of propofol injection pain is still needed.

Randomized Controlled TrialThe efficacy of pregabalin for prevention of catheter-related bladder discomfort: a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind study.
The present study evaluated the efficacy of preoperative pregabalin for prevention of catheter-related bladder discomfort. ⋯ Pretreatment with pregabalin 150 mg prevents CRBD and also decreases postoperative fentanyl consumption. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: (ref: CTRI/2013/11/004170).

A laparoscopic gastrectomy approach decreases the incidence and severity of emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia.
Compared to open gastrectomy (OG), laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) has improved short-term outcomes and equivalent oncological outcomes. In this study, a potential short-term advantage of LG over OG, reduced risk of emergence agitation, was evaluated. ⋯ Compared to an open approach, a laparoscopic gastrectomy approach can provide the short-term benefit of decreased emergence agitation.

Randomized Controlled TrialMagnesium sulfate with lidocaine for preventing propofol injection pain: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Pre-treatment with IV lignocaine and magnesium does not have an additive effect on reducing the pain of propofol injection compared with lignocaine alone.
