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.

Retraction Of Publication[Influence of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on the natriuretic peptides ANP and BNP. A comparison between long and short duration of CPB and off pump surgery].
Plasma atrial and brain natriuretic peptide (ANP and BNP) are cardiac hormones secreted mainly due to cardiac overload. The study was designed to assess plasma concentrations of ANP and BNP in patients undergoing coronary bypass grafting (CABG) with long and short duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and without CPB (off-pump surgery). ⋯ CPB influenced BNP, but not ANP plasma concentrations. An influence of the duration of CPB on ANP and BNP was not seen.

Retraction Of Publication[Dolasetron reduces pain on injection of propofol].
Pain on injection is a well known side-effect of propofol. The present study was designed to assess the efficacy of dolasetron, a 5-HT 3 -antagonist, in prophylaxis of pain on injection of propofol compared with lidocaine and placebo. ⋯ Dolasetron and lidocaine were effective in preventing pain of injection secondary to propofol.
