Abstract

This study is done on 90 patients in ASA I,II stage who would be operated because of different causes patients were included in one of the 2 groups randomly. While patients in the group I were receiving one of 1 ml % lignocaine, 1 ml (5 mg) metoclopramide or 1 ml normal saline before 2-3 mg/kg propofol bolus injection, patients in group II had received one of the upper choices before 0.3 mg/kg etomidate injection. Intravenous cannula was removed after these injections. Pain was noted during the injections. Metoclopramide and lignocaine were statistically found to be more effective compared to normal saline in reducing pain on injection of propofol. Lignocaine had a positive effect on reducing pain of injection of etomidate, metoclopramide was found to prevent venous complications of etomidate.
