Retraction Of Publication[Injection pain secondary to propofol-MCT/LCT and propofol-LCT--comparison of prophylaxis with lidocaine].
Pain on injection is one of the most described side-effects of the intravenous application of propofol. This study was designed to assess the efficacy of lidocaine 40 mg in preventing incidence and severity of injection pain for two different propofol solvents. ⋯ Propofol-MCT/LCT showed a significant advantage compared to propofol-LCT considering the severity of injection pain, but not in reducing the incidence of pain. The use of lidocaine resulted in a significant reduction of incidence and severity of injection pain for both propofol solvents.
