PAIN ON I.V. INJECTION OF SOME ANAESTHETIC AGENTS IS EVOKED BY THE UNPHYSIOLOGICAL OSMOLALITY OR pH OF THEIR FORMULATIONS

Abstract: We have studied the intensity and time-course of pain during and after injection into an isolated vein segment in seven normal subjects of saline or glucose of different osmolalities (0-6 osmol kg-1) or pH (2-13). Pain scores were recorded continuously by a modified visual analogue scale apparatus. With osmolar stimulation, pain occurred at 1.0 osmol kg-1 during perfusion and 3.0 osmol kg-1 with rapid injection and increased with osmolar concentration of both saline and glucose solutions. Acidic and alkaline s… Show more

“…Unphysiological osmolality or pH-induced nociceptor activation, and release of endogen mediators such as histamine and bradykinin can be mentioned among the causes of this side effect (10). The onset of pain immediately after injection and pain limited to the arm where rocuronium is injected suggests that the drug induces pain via direct irritation of peripheral veins (11)(12)(13). Administration of various different drugs such as local anaesthetics, opioids, sodium bicarbonate and ondansetron, at the same time or before rocuronium administration have been tried in the attempts to prevent injection pain (4, 14-16).…”

“…Rokuronyum enjeksiyon ağrısının patofizyolojisindeki diğer mekanizmalar arasında; doğrudan venöz nosiseptörleri irrite eden kinin gibi lokal mediatörlerin salın-ması ve C nosiseptörlerini doğrudan aktive edebilen aminosteroidal nöromusküler blokörlerin allojenik etkisi sayılabilir. [17][18][19][20][21] Literatürde rokuronyum enjeksiyon hızının ve veriliş şeklinin enjeksiyon ağrısına ve geri çekme hareketine etkisi olduğunu gösteren çalışmalar mevcuttur. Lee ve ark.…”

“…Mechanisms proposed include the activation of nociceptors by acidic sensing ion channels (Klement and Arndt, 1991) or by an indirect action via the plasma kallikrein-kinin system (Scott et al, 1988). Recent reports suggest a major role for transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels, especially TRPA1 (Matta et al, 2008;Lee et al, 2008).…”
