Tourniquet at 50 mm Hg Followed by Intravenous Lidocaine Diminishes Hand Pain Associated With Propofol Injection

Abstract: We evaluated the efficacy of intravenous lidocaine, with and without a tourniquet, to decrease the intensity of pain during intravenous propofol injection in 82 patients undergoing general anesthesia. Patients in group A (n = 20) received propofol (2 mg/kg IV); patients in group B (n = 22) received 2% lidocaine (100 mg IV) followed 1 min later by propofol (2 mg/kg). Patients in group C (n = 21, saline placebo) and D (n = 19, 2% lidocaine) had an arm tourniquet inflated to 50 mm Hg applied for 1 min after gravi… Show more

“…bolus or tourniquet application or by mixing with propofol. Mangar et al [15] proved that lidocaine given to proximal region of the arm after tourniquet apply is more effective on reducing the pain related to propofol injection compared to the placebo. Although there is no certain explanation for the mechanism of this case, it is a common idea that the possible effect of lidocaine by blocking the nerves can hinder the effect of stimulative membranes in veins [16].…”

“…1 Lidocaine is the most effective agent in reducing this pain especially if given first with a venous tourniquet inflated to 50 mmHg. 3,4 The strategy most commonly used clinically, however, is mixing lidocaine with propofol. The amount of lidocaine mixed with propofol varies but in adults, 0.1 mg·kg -1 seems to be effective, [5][6][7][8] whereas children seem to need about 0.2 mg·kg -1 .…”

“…However, all had variable results. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Many factors like site of injection, size of vein, speed of injection, buffering effect of blood, temperature of propofol and concomitant use of drugs such as local anaesthetics, opiates, etc., appear to affect the incidence of pain [14][15][16] . A number of both pharmacological (e.g., pretreatment with lignocaine, ondansetron, ketorolac, nafamostat, ketamine or topical nitroglycerine application with propofol, diluting propofol with 5% dextrose or 10% intralipid and using mediumand small-chain triglycerides) and nonpharmacological methods have been used with variable results and the research for the ideal agent to decrease pain on propofol injection is still going on.…”
