Comparative study to reduce pain and hemodynamic bleu response to propofol injection

ABSTRACT

Background: The induction of anaesthesia with propofol is associated with pain on injection and a significant decrease in arterial blood pressure. In this study, we compared the effect of micro-biological filter to the pretreatment with ephedrine intravenously on the incidence and severity of propofol - induced pain and on the hernodynamic responses to propofol
