Clinical Trial Summary

The primary hypothesis is that esmolol and lidocaine, when given without the use of a tourniquet, provide relief of propofol injection pain that is superior to placebo when assessed using the propofol pain scoring tool

Description:

The study will include three arms: lidocaine, esmolol, and placebo. Eligible patients will be 18-60 years old, ASA physical status 1-3, and scheduled for an elective surgical procedure. Patients will be randomized to receive lidocaine, esmolol, or placebo. Both the patients and the administering/observing providers will be blinded to the study drug or placebo being administered

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Pain with propofol injection	the proportion of patients with pain using a pain scoring system previously used by studies looking at various remedies to decrease propofol injection pain In this scoring system, patients are observed and their responses and behaviors are rated according a specific rubric (Table 1)	following administration of a sub-induction dose of propofol, 0.5 mg/kg up to 50 mg, just prior to full induction
Secondary	Heart rate		vital signs each minute for the first 10 minutes following induction
Secondary	Blood pressure		vital signs each minute for the first 10 minutes following induction
Secondary	Oxygen saturation		vital signs each minute for the first 10 minutes following induction
