Comparison of effect of premixed lidocaine in propofol with or without ketorolac pretreatment with placebo on reducing pain on injection of propofol: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in adult Korean surgical patients.
Pain on injection of propofol is a common adverse event. ⋯ In this Korean population, premixed lidocaine in propofol with or without ketorolac pretreatment was associated with significantly less pain when compared with placebo. The combination of ketorolac pretreatment and premixed lidocaine in propofol was more effective in decreasing the incidence of moderate or severe pain compared with placebo.
