Summary
This is a double blind, randomized, controlled study. The sedationist performing the sedation
procedure will inject the appropriate amount of either a 1% Lidocaine solution or a placebo
before the administration of Propofol. A research staff will observe the patient
simultaneously with the induction of Propofol to determine the patient's pain level, as
measured by the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale. The purpose of this
study is to determine the efficacy of premedication with 1% Lidocaine in decreasing the
burning sensation caused by intravenous Propofol.
