Summary
This study tested two methods using lidocaine to prevent the pain that often happens when propofol is injected before surgery. 180 adults scheduled for elective surgery were randomly assigned to receive propofol alone, propofol mixed with lidocaine, or a brief lidocaine block before propofol. The main goal was to see which approach best reduced injection pain.
