A new efficient model to investigate propofol injection pain

Abstract Details

2007, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Allied Medical Professions.
Pain associated with the injection of propofol has been investigated in many studies. Our investigative model used a double-blinded construction that allowed the participant to act as the subject for both the test and control group. The subjects received simultaneous injections, one in each hand, through a 22 g IV catheter connected to a standard IV set-up placed in the dorsum of each hand. Together, 2 mL of propofol were injected in one hand and 2 mL of the propofol mixture containing 1mg/mL lidocaine or 0.02 mg remifentanil in the other hand. In this manner we were able to obtain adequate statistical power for this clinical study with a small number of subjects. Two groups of twenty-five subjects used this model to assess and compare discomfort experienced following the intravenous injection of plain propofol and either a mixture of propofol with lidocaine or propofol with remifentanil.
