Abstract
Pain during the injection of anaesthetic agents may be distressing to the patients and can reduce the acceptability of an otherwise useful agent such
as propofol for short cases and day care surgeries. lidocaine and ketamine both are used as pre-treatment to decrease propofol related injection pain.
In this study 108 patients were randomized into 2 groups of 54 each. Patients are undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia are
assigned into two groups, group L and group K.Incidence and severrity of pain will be scored by McCrick and Hunter pain scale and results and
hemodynamic changes will be recorded. we found that incidence of mild pain was 33.33% in group K in compare to 57.41% in group L, which was
statistically signicant(p=0.01).
