Summary
Intravenous lidocaine is commonly given through an intravenous (IV) line prior to injection
of propofol to reduce the amount of pain during propofol injection. The investigators want to
study if giving the lidocaine through the IV while the forearm on the same limb has a
tourniquet applied to it to prevent "washing out" of the lidocaine prior to propofol
injection helps reduce propofol injection pain.
