Injection-induced pain during induction of anaesthesia can result in patient's discomfort. This can prevent the use of propofol-anaesthesia in paediatric patients. Because of the high incidence of pain on injection with propofol numerous interventions have been tested to prevent this pain including the use of different drugs and physical measures as well as the combination of methods. ⋯ For paediatric anaesthesia the application of EMLA-cream seems to be suitable, because it alleviates the pain during venous cannulation at the same time. Although a painfree propofol injection is not possible with every prevention strategy there exist a wide range of effective interventions to prevent pain on injection with propofol. This article reviews methods that have been investigated and established to minimise the incidence of pain.

[Hotline 2: heating capabilities of a coaxial fluid warming system at low and moderate flow rates].
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two coaxial fluid warming systems with their heating capabilities. ⋯ Compared to its predecessor, the Hotline 2 performance is a valuable improvement with respect to heating capacity and clinical handling.
