Abstract
Background: A common general anesthesia that is quick and efficient is propofol. However, anesthesiologists who rate clinical anesthesia outcomes still rank discomfort following propofol administration as a 7-33 clinical issue.
Methodology: A quantitative research approach, true experimental) RCT) study of 100 patients whose ages (18-60) years who were subjected to the criteria of the study general anesthesia for elective surgery was included in this study. Patients were classified into two groups: the first group (study), in which 50 patients were injected with propofol only 3mg / kg,As for the second group (the control group) 40 ml of lidocaine was given pretreatment to propofol and given to 50 patients.
Results: The effect of propofol after injection was to reduce (SBP, DBP, HR, and RR), and increase OSL, as the percentages of change for these variables were (-15.94%, -19.01). %, -5.22%, 1.89%, and -9.52%) respectively. The study also indicated that there were statistically significant differences at p ≤ 0.01 between the experimental and control groups in favor of the experimental group, and no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in HR, OLS, and RR. This means that propofol reduced blood pressure to a greater extent than propofol with lidocaine 40 mg in healthy adult patients undergoing general anesthesia. The trial group experienced significantly less discomfort from propofol injections than the control group (90% of patients did not feel pain from propofol injection and only 10% of patient felt mild pain). The study also showed that only in the control group, the patient's vital signs change following a propofol infusion.
Conclusions: The use of intravenous lidocaine as a pre-treatment in adult patients lessens the discomfort of propofol injections. This method is simple to use, doesn't waste time, and doesn't cost extra money.
