Mixtures of lipid emulsion and microemulsion propofol containing agents that reduce propofol-induced pain

Agents Volumes of agents mixed with propofol (ml) Total volumes of mixtures (ml) Concentrations of agents in mixtures (mg ml−1)
Lidocaine (20 mg ml−1) 0.5 5.5 1.81
Ketamine (50 mg ml−1) 0.2 5.2 1.92
Metoclopramide (5 mg ml−1) 1.0 6 0.83
Ondansetron (2 mg ml−1) 2.0 7 0.57
Thiopental (25 mg ml−1) 2.0 7 7.14
Ephedrine (5 mg ml−1) 0.4 5.4 0.37

All agents that reduce propofol-induced pain were mixed with 5 ml of each propofol formulation (agent mixture). For controls, pain-reducing agents were replaced with an equal volume of saline. The numbers of agent and control mixtures for each propofol formulation were all 10 per agent.
