Summary
Propofol remains the most common drug for induction of general anaesthesia, although it
causes considerable pain or discomfort on injection. Anesthesia providers have attempted a
large number of remedies to prevent this pain on injection. Previously explored ideas include
injecting propofol into larger veins, warming of the hand with hot packs, and intravenous
pretreatment with numerous other medications. No studies to date have looked at the
dexketoprofen and tenoxicam for the pretreatment of pain on injection caused by propofol. The
investigators propose studying the use of dexketoprofen and tenoxicam for pretreatment of
propofol related pain on injection.
