Study Summary

Since the introduction of propofol into routine anesthesia practice, the phenomena of pain on injection has plagued anesthesia providers. Propofol, an unstable phenol, triggers the release of bradykinin on injection. This release causes a painful burning sensation in the patient at the site of 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. Currently, pretreatment with lidocaine is commonly administered to prevent propofol injection pain. No studies to date have looked at the combination of lidocaine and magnesium in a single syringe for the pretreatment of pain on injection caused by propofol. In addition, the administration protocols that have been studied thus far do not mirror clinical practice at the University of Wisconsin. The investigators propose studying the use of magnesium and lidocaine in a single syringe for pretreatment of propofol related pain on injection.

Primary Outcome

Following injection of the study drug, 50 mg of propofol will be injected. Ten seconds after propofol, subjects will be asked a standard question about pain. Behavioral signs will be noted. Pain will be assessed using a four point scale: 0=no pain, 1=mild pain (pain reported only in response to questioning and without behavioral signs), 2=moderate pain (pain reported in response to questioning and a behavioral sign, or pain reported without questioning), 3=severe pain (strong vocal response or b
